#6: Form hypotheses about teaching actions likely to accelerate student learning.

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.
