Description
Learning happens best when relationships between all members of the learning community are warm, connected, and authentic. Inquiry learning is enhanced by connections with the community beyond school. (Kath Murdoch 2018)
Your Semester 2 HASS/Science planning starts here...
The most engaging classroom inquiries begin with curiosity and wonderings that often take us wandering outside the classroom to explore, connect with ‘place’, find answers, ask more questions, and learn from experts. Before we venture out, teachers will often ask their students, Who can we ask? Where can we go?
In these challenging times with restrictions to our favourite excursion venues, this webinar series will take you to some of our most popular places with online resources, mini-lessons and virtual experiences to bring the experts into your classroom.
These weekly PL sessions are short, sharp, and perfect for viewing with your colleagues, in the staffroom at lunchtime, or review the recording afterward.
Registrations are essential, as the webinar link will be emailed to you two days before each session.
Wednesday Webinar #1 (June 10) we go to Kings Park.
Cultural Heritage meets STEM - Remote teaching ideas presented by the Kings Park Education Team covering bushland, wetlands, adaptations, plants, and the environment.
