Of course there are always things to learn. So what have I learned about Teacher Inquiry as part of Appraisals.
- Presenting findings at the end is valuable. Teachers have something to work to that showcases their work.
- By using GAFE able to have public (within the school) records of what is happening. Can include personal responses to professional readings and teachers can learn from each others work.
- Try using Halbert & Kaser Spirals of Inquiry 2013 to develop the big question. They have questions to guide the teacher in developing their questions.
- Fail Fast - Try something new, learn from it and make changes.
- Teachers Council will shortly be sending out more information about what is needed.
- Use VLN Teacher's Inquiry site. Lots of good information.
What was reinforced for me:
- Teacher Inquiry is about reflective practice. It is not something on top.
- by using GAFE it is being recorded in one place
- this can be done individually or at times of discussion.
