The new Knowledge Building/Knowledge Creation site from Ontario has been designed to support educators making the shift to inquiry and other types of student-centered learning. A number of videos were filmed in my classroom. I'll be sharing those over the next few weeks.

Heidi, I'm always so amazed by what you do, and your ideas continue to inspire me to look and think about things differently. I love your focus on "thinking" - something that I've been trying to do more this year as well. I always wonder though about the best way to link thinking and curriculum. Do you always have students frame their thinking questions around big ideas in the curriculum documents? How do you get students to make the links between their wonders and the curriculum expectations? Were there any of your Grade 7's that struggled with the independence that their big project gave them? How did you scaffold this for them?
ReplyDeleteThanks Heidi for getting me thinking more!

Thank you for your kind words Aviva. You ask BIG questions and the answers are not straightforward. I will take some time to think before responding. It's complicated. :D
