October Conference Planning by Ms Penny Vlies https://padlet.com/pennyvlies/5hk6fwfgf2djy3xi en-us 2022-08-17 03:51:14 UTC 2022-08-17 20:17:59 UTC hello@padlet.com Cross KLA links? https://padlet.com/pennyvlies/5hk6fwfgf2djy3xi/wish/2262996878 EG: water cycle in science and geography]]> 2022-08-17 06:10:53 UTC https://padlet.com/pennyvlies/5hk6fwfgf2djy3xi/wish/2262996878 Cross curricular groups to discuss https://padlet.com/pennyvlies/5hk6fwfgf2djy3xi/wish/2262997145 2022-08-17 06:11:19 UTC https://padlet.com/pennyvlies/5hk6fwfgf2djy3xi/wish/2262997145 Seeing the common KUDs in the various KLAs and building students' understanding and skills by calling them out (drawing attention to it) E.g. Bivariate data analysis and the IRP in Science or viewing representing task in English with Visual Art. https://padlet.com/pennyvlies/5hk6fwfgf2djy3xi/wish/2262997440 2022-08-17 06:11:45 UTC https://padlet.com/pennyvlies/5hk6fwfgf2djy3xi/wish/2262997440 The skills which are relevant beyond the KLA https://padlet.com/pennyvlies/5hk6fwfgf2djy3xi/wish/2262997462 2022-08-17 06:11:47 UTC https://padlet.com/pennyvlies/5hk6fwfgf2djy3xi/wish/2262997462 Our attempt at cross KLA learning? https://padlet.com/pennyvlies/5hk6fwfgf2djy3xi/wish/2262997715 2022-08-17 06:11:55 UTC https://padlet.com/pennyvlies/5hk6fwfgf2djy3xi/wish/2262997715 identifying, emphasising and linking KLAs through common content or skills https://padlet.com/pennyvlies/5hk6fwfgf2djy3xi/wish/2262998531 2022-08-17 06:12:50 UTC https://padlet.com/pennyvlies/5hk6fwfgf2djy3xi/wish/2262998531 Skills that align across KLAs - not necessarily the links between the content - how we can think about the content?? https://padlet.com/pennyvlies/5hk6fwfgf2djy3xi/wish/2262998911 2022-08-17 06:13:19 UTC https://padlet.com/pennyvlies/5hk6fwfgf2djy3xi/wish/2262998911 Using similar skills in a variety of subjects, situations and contexts to promote flexible thinking- teaching students to pivot their understanding to new situations https://padlet.com/pennyvlies/5hk6fwfgf2djy3xi/wish/2262999096 2022-08-17 06:13:30 UTC https://padlet.com/pennyvlies/5hk6fwfgf2djy3xi/wish/2262999096 Using the capabilities as the point of commonality for all KLAs. Theme or problem based units e.g. Sustainability - reuse, recycle (Stage 4 Geography chose an item and develop a product links with English - persuasive text and Maths - data collection (survey), Science - impact on environment?) https://padlet.com/pennyvlies/5hk6fwfgf2djy3xi/wish/2262999326 2022-08-17 06:13:47 UTC https://padlet.com/pennyvlies/5hk6fwfgf2djy3xi/wish/2262999326 Cross curricular groups - KLAs with links eg Science-Geography but maybe even those that don't seem like a natural fit Maths-English (or more than 2 subjects of course), possibly event cross stage to look at the development of the skills (this perhaps is vertical rather than horizontal) https://padlet.com/pennyvlies/5hk6fwfgf2djy3xi/wish/2263000032 2022-08-17 06:14:32 UTC https://padlet.com/pennyvlies/5hk6fwfgf2djy3xi/wish/2263000032 Examples of how this looks in a school e.g. cross-KLA assessment tasks or teaching and learning activities, STEAM projects - E.g. Tiny House design. https://padlet.com/pennyvlies/5hk6fwfgf2djy3xi/wish/2263000931 2022-08-17 06:15:22 UTC https://padlet.com/pennyvlies/5hk6fwfgf2djy3xi/wish/2263000931 Sub-groupings are beneficial as it helps to breakdown barriers and allows us to see the links in subject content and skills https://padlet.com/pennyvlies/5hk6fwfgf2djy3xi/wish/2263001118 2022-08-17 06:15:40 UTC https://padlet.com/pennyvlies/5hk6fwfgf2djy3xi/wish/2263001118 Case studies that we can share- even if we work together at the conference to find a common priority and create a unit or map out how to horizontal align this https://padlet.com/pennyvlies/5hk6fwfgf2djy3xi/wish/2263001341 2022-08-17 06:15:58 UTC https://padlet.com/pennyvlies/5hk6fwfgf2djy3xi/wish/2263001341 It was my understanding that thhey were trying to remove common content across subjects (e.g. water cycle in HSIE and Science) so would the discuss be about identifying common skills? https://padlet.com/pennyvlies/5hk6fwfgf2djy3xi/wish/2263001813 2022-08-17 06:16:44 UTC https://padlet.com/pennyvlies/5hk6fwfgf2djy3xi/wish/2263001813 Providing an example of how we could break down the walls between KLAs. Perhaps using Project-based learning?? https://padlet.com/pennyvlies/5hk6fwfgf2djy3xi/wish/2263002085 2022-08-17 06:17:07 UTC https://padlet.com/pennyvlies/5hk6fwfgf2djy3xi/wish/2263002085 Student work samples, such as portfolios from design thinking/program based learning style initiatives (such as Passion Projects at NHS) https://padlet.com/pennyvlies/5hk6fwfgf2djy3xi/wish/2263002133 2022-08-17 06:17:12 UTC https://padlet.com/pennyvlies/5hk6fwfgf2djy3xi/wish/2263002133 Having people seated amongst the audience to guide discussions and talk about their experience at table groups for more indepth discussions/Q&A https://padlet.com/pennyvlies/5hk6fwfgf2djy3xi/wish/2263003616 2022-08-17 06:19:08 UTC https://padlet.com/pennyvlies/5hk6fwfgf2djy3xi/wish/2263003616 I would like to volunteer Natalie from the Hunter TENs group. She is the HT of a cross curricular faculty and she has some incredible examples of cross KLA units/projects https://padlet.com/pennyvlies/5hk6fwfgf2djy3xi/wish/2263003959 2022-08-17 06:19:38 UTC https://padlet.com/pennyvlies/5hk6fwfgf2djy3xi/wish/2263003959 I was speaking with my English HT yesterday about creative writing in subjects and other than English, something which teachers are really closed to. Eg students writing a narrative as a piece of food going through the digestive system for science and how this can allow students to deeply learn about the digestive system, or other content https://padlet.com/pennyvlies/5hk6fwfgf2djy3xi/wish/2263004524 2022-08-17 06:20:19 UTC https://padlet.com/pennyvlies/5hk6fwfgf2djy3xi/wish/2263004524 Perhaps get stage teams together e.g. Stage 4 - look at the syllabuses and find the points of commonality or a capability that would be suitable for certain KLAs to focus on. https://padlet.com/pennyvlies/5hk6fwfgf2djy3xi/wish/2263004810 2022-08-17 06:20:38 UTC https://padlet.com/pennyvlies/5hk6fwfgf2djy3xi/wish/2263004810 I'm happy to share how this integrates into the Big Picture model of learning https://padlet.com/pennyvlies/5hk6fwfgf2djy3xi/wish/2263004904 (Linden from Newcastle High)]]> 2022-08-17 06:20:49 UTC https://padlet.com/pennyvlies/5hk6fwfgf2djy3xi/wish/2263004904 I love being involved in the delivery of quality PD - so happy to help in any way I can. I would not call myself an expert in this area though - I have been involved in many STEM projects but not ongoing, imbedded, school-wide systems https://padlet.com/pennyvlies/5hk6fwfgf2djy3xi/wish/2263006331 2022-08-17 06:22:53 UTC https://padlet.com/pennyvlies/5hk6fwfgf2djy3xi/wish/2263006331 Absolutely- even pairing a couple of faculties together to ease the transition before trying to bridge the gap between all faculties. For example- language and HSIE https://padlet.com/pennyvlies/5hk6fwfgf2djy3xi/wish/2263006381 2022-08-17 06:22:59 UTC https://padlet.com/pennyvlies/5hk6fwfgf2djy3xi/wish/2263006381 We could be the PR agents at the conference. Learning across the curriculum is extremely important. https://padlet.com/pennyvlies/5hk6fwfgf2djy3xi/wish/2263007999 2022-08-17 06:25:19 UTC https://padlet.com/pennyvlies/5hk6fwfgf2djy3xi/wish/2263007999
