Today our COL team presented to our staff where we were at with our inquiries and how we could support them in understanding inquiry in their everyday practice life.
Here is our presentation.
The highlight for me was how Karen was able to describe inquiry in a way that our staff could understand and it bought to light that if we are honest about ourselves and how we see our teaching, we could start unpacking what the real issues could be. I think a good message was to let staff know that we are not perfect and things may not work but that that is ok. Karen's visual showed two sides, on the left was what we couldn't control (like kids punctuality and attendance) and on the right was what we could control like our planning.
Staff went into department groups to discuss what went wrong, how it made them feel and what they did or planned to do to address the issue. It was interesting to hear some of the conversations that was being had and how in my own department, staff were sharing the same concerns.
