So much starts with self-regulation, and the environment can be a third teacher. Choose the ecology walk guide below that best matches your context. 👇👇

TonyaGilchrist — 2023-07-29 22:38:52 UTC

Complete the ecology walk (and the first page of the guide) while students are in your learning space.
Complete the second page during a collaborative meeting time with a partner or two.
After completing your ecology walk, please share artifacts (e.g. pictures, a copy/snapshot of your completed document, reflective thoughts, etc.) at the bottom of this column.

2024-04-22 03:32:42 UTC

I have learnt to create broad and effective central ideas

2024-04-22 03:32:48 UTC

I have a clear understanding of what a central idea is and why is it important to be able to conceptualise facts and knowledge.

2024-04-22 03:33:16 UTC

Today's session served as a refresher for me esp about Central idea.

Reflection

2024-04-22 03:33:51 UTC

My take aways- Teaching through conceptual idea is life long learning.

Central ideas and line of inquiry can be changed for more space and room.

The role of transdisciplinary learning through a shared lense. Indepth understanding of the Central Idea to reflect Transdisciplary.

2024-04-22 03:33:58 UTC

Conceptual understanding helps students with critical thinking and knowledge transfer. Important to ask: what do we want learners to know and be able to do after the activity or Unit of Inquiry.

2024-04-22 03:34:52 UTC

What I would like to remember about today: (Tim)

2024-04-22 03:36:06 UTC

My key takeaway is understanding the importance of CI's. CI's must have room for a transdiciplinary approach. Learning should not be a force-fit. If there is no transdiciplinary connection then the UOI needs to be a stand alone.

What I want to remember about today?

2024-04-22 03:36:37 UTC

Today, I learned a lot about Transdisciplinary Learning. It involves around the concepts and how you can do a complete makeover around it.

Thanks so much Tonya for an interesting session on assessment. It so interesting and really enriching. It will definately help me in helping me achieve my goal on assessment. I like the presentation on the gradation which helps students to build on and build on things they in order to improve and the second on getting checklist on what they need to accomplish in a session.
