5th July: Flaxmere Inquiry
The day was spent working with Flaxmere School, starting with a breakfast meeting and then working with teachers from each syndicate across the school. The goal was to address specific issues, problems and questions arising from the classroom experiences as teachers implement Inquiry Learning using the SAUCE model across the school. A wide range of practical issues were addressed. The day culminated in a staff meeting where we looked at issues of planning, preparation and the next steps in terms of further Inquiry units. It was good to have such open and positive discussions and to see the school as a whole ready to continue the process of implementing and embedding Inquiry Learning.
