My thoughts after student feedback, talking to other staff and doing a little bit of research, here are some things I could do:
If students were connected to their learning then they would not less be distracted and more engaged.
- Provide highly engaging relevant lessons with variety linked to what they know
- Create enough down time to do their own work.
- Let students select music which helps them to learn.
- Offer opportunities to do group work and peer work as well as one to one.
- Bring in experts who are engaging and relate to the learning.
If we develop student capability of perspective-taking then we will increase understanding about the relevance and importance of our local curriculum.
- Find and use templates to enable structured perspective -taking
- Design lessons to allow students to engage with relevant perspectives
- Bring in guest speakers to provide authentic perspectives.
If we develop and improve access to local curriculum knowledge and learning then we will increase engagement and a sense of care for the community.
- Design field trips to inspire learning and to connect with the community.
If we increase engagement and connectedness, then students will take action to take care of their community.
- Design ways to link the learning to the student and their sense of well-being and identity.
