This year 2020, I have decided to take a different approach to my Teaching As Inquiry.
In the past few years, I have focussed on developing thinking and conversation skills with focus to accelerate the achieve of my learners in Reading, Writing and Mathematics. I had the support of Jannie, to implement strategies to raise the conversational skills of my learners with the hope that conversation will drive the thinking to engage more in learning.
Deep dive into reading was a success in my learning space. Students come to the reading discussion wth some ideas. However, I noticed that it became onerous. The students needed more than that. Vocabulary was a big need and their general knowledge of their world and what around them is very limited.
I used a lot of articles shared by Dr van Hees. It was great to open opportunity for students to learn about current issues. However, I feel there is more to be done.
What can it be?
