I am continuing to learn how to teach in a cross-curricular way to deconstruct the walls between the subject silos so I can reconstruct learning activities that are richer and more meaningful for learners

Great job, team NVSS! You have worked on building relationships and making decisions. Love that you included Student Voice ! Keep up the good work!

You have really delved into complex learning and I know by observing you and listening into your discussions that it is often messy. Your dedication to this inquiry and collaboration is so so inspiring!

Jen and Sam, your inquiry about collaborating in nature is true place-based learning. The rich experience the learners get while learning outside would not have been possible without your commitment to your own adult learning. Thank you for your hard and valuable work!

Love that you are learning on the land with your students. There is so much research about the importance of spending time in green spaces and being near water.

Well done, McLeod! Way to go to collaborate on an inquiry with your entire primary team! I love how you identified what the gaps in understanding were and how you purposefully focused on these using meaningful strategies to build skills!

Patti-Ann! It is fantastic to see your inquiry deepen from last year. I am inspired by your reference to the Seasonal Rounds and Justice Sinclair's four questions. Your learners are immersed in purposeful learning. Keep working smarter not harder!

I love this so much PattiAnn!!

Sounds like you do have a 'team' PattiAnn... you, and your students!

Well done!

DELSA team! Your inquiry in cultivating safe learning environments is remarkable. Coming together the way you do on a regular basis to learn more and respond to community events is quite something as you are all busy in your separate schools each day! Wow!

Kari and Stephanie! Your inquiry to focus on core competencies using Spaces has supported learners' goal setting abilities and reflections. You have noted how their reflections are more aligned with the goals and also more personal and authentic. Inspiring!

Everyone is doing a wonderful job. Thank you for sharing your experiences & learning

I am very impressed by how your focus was to have students interact with the core competencies more consistently and to develop more meaningful connections to them. I sometimes struggle to successfully describe core competency goal-setting to my kindergarten-age students in a way that they understand.

# data[].attributes.body
I am sure that online learning is very different than brick and mortar learning. You have taken on a very interesting inquiry and I hope your learners continue to feel more and more comfortable engaging in your surveys and their learning.
