  7. “Learning Teams” • Shared values & goals • Collective learning & application of learning • Supportive conditions • Sharing personal practices

  8. Roles of the leader in this plan • Provide opportunities for staff to develop personal understanding; • Form Learning Teams as the core of continuous improvement (professional trust, sharing for mutual gain, and collaboration but not competition) • Promote reflection on practice by staff (pairs as critical friends) • Think and act in an authentic manner(you as a person and leader)

  9. “enquiry” worksheets = enquiry learning?

  10. “Routine is the death of consciousness” • If we simply present the teacher with pre-packaged, finished lesson plans, designed by the critical thinking of someone else, someone who used a process that is not clearly understood by the teacher, then a major opportunity for the teacher to develop her own critical thinking skills, insights, and motivations will have been lost. Richard Paul, 1995, p.340

  23. Questioning Tools • Socratic Questioning

  24. Elements of Reasoning • All reasoning has a purpose; All reasoning is an attempt to figure something out, to settle some question, to solve some problem. • All reasoning is based on assumptions; All reasoning is done from some pointofview; All reasoning is based on data, information, and evidence. • All reasoning is expressed through, and shaped by, concepts and ideas; All reasoning contains inferences by which we draw conclusions and give meaning to data. • All reasoning leads somewhere, has implications and consequences.

  25. For exploring ideas in depth & breadth • Select a question / issue of interest. • Produce a central statement. • Clarify the statement and its relationship to the question / issue. • List & examine support, reasons, evidence, & assumptions related to the central statement. • Explore the origin / source of the statement. • Develop & critically examine the implications & consequences of the statement. • Seek & fairly examine conflicting views.
