Weaving Connections through the Journeys of inquiry with Kath Murdoch

Description

AISWA are proud to welcome Kath Murdoch to Perth as part of the Purposeful Pedagogies Masterclass series.

How can we document journeys of inquiry to support the development of students' metalanguage, and why is it important? How can learning walls, class and personal journals and other forms of documentation help narrate the process of inquiry?

In this practical, interactive workshop, Kath Murdoch, global expert in inquiry-based learning,will guide classroom teachers through the exploration of the following questions:

- How can a process of inquiry help us design meaningful, connected learning experiences for learners?

- How can we 'tell the story' of an inquiry as it unfolds and how can we make the learning process visible through documentation?

- How can we design inquiry journeys to help students think more critically, creatively and reflectively?

- How can we invite learners into the process of designing for their learning?

- As an inquiry unfolds, how can we ensure we are strengthening agency through the development of key skills and dispositions along the way?

- How can a more concept-based approach ensure stronger connections are made across the curriculum?

This school-based workshop is suitable for all primary teachers and curriculum leaders. Each participant will receive a copy of Kath Murdoch's latest book, From Agency to Zest - a journey through the landscape of inquiry', to complement their learning and take back to their classroom.

Morning tea and lunch is included.
