Learner's perspective by Ashok Chavan https://padlet.com/ashok30chavan/e0sa9pese2p4 Let them grow as plants grow with the help of sunlight,air,water and food. en-us 2017-05-28 04:34:13 UTC 2017-06-07 17:05:10 UTC hello@padlet.com Learner and textbook ashok30chavan https://padlet.com/ashok30chavan/e0sa9pese2p4/wish/174112874 Learners love to have new books with colorful pictures and stories.They interact with their friends ,teachers and parents . It is a very good way to support learners or teach them with the help of textbook or you can have lot of resources from outside world too.We as a teacher should provide these opportunities to children to motivate and learn better.

The spiral of inquiry is an approach to professional learning that begins with a problem or situation in the classroom. It requires support and uses a collaborative approach (i.e. teachers, learners, school leaders etc.) to contribute. It focuses on two key questions:

  • What’s going on for our learners?
  • How do we know?

Scanning: In this phase we observe our learners and watch them carefully. As you teach, spend some time during the lesson to stop and look: What do you notice about your learners? Are they all engaged? How do you know?


Focussing: In this phase we decide what area to concentrate on so that it will make a difference to our learners. It is important to bring in other colleagues and approach this collaboratively. For example, do you need to ask more open-ended questions to develop their critical thinking skills?


Developing a hunch: In this phase we ask the question: How am I contributing to this situation? Is there something I need to learn? Remember that a “hunch” may not be 100% correct and once again, needs feedback from colleagues and peers. We may also need to “test” out a couple of hunches in (for example) peer observations to see what the real issues are.


New learning: In this phase we build on the previous one and answer the questions: What do I need to learn and where can I find the information I need? This is where continuing professional development activities like joining a community of practice or attending a course will help.


Taking action: In this phase we answer the question: What can I do differently to make enough of a difference? It is also trying out the new approach in the classroom and evaluating whether or not it worked. Remember: genuine inquiry needs space to take risks, make mistakes and try again – and again.


Checking: In this phase we answer the question: Have we made enough of a difference? At this point, we could also explore new points of action…and so the spiral continues, going back to the scanning phase.

Teacher supports by giving a demonstration of pair work of stronger students in front of the class. She helps the pupils to conduct the activity.And she also monitors the class and supports the learners.
 I do the same in my class. I conduct a pair activity of stronger students. I call them in front of the class. They perform and everybody claps after the completion. I call another pair to conduct the same activity. So many pairs enthusiastically present themselves in front of the class. After  I form pairs in the whole class and conduct the activity. I observe and monitor the class and support the learners .]]> 2017-05-30 16:40:23 UTC https://padlet.com/ashok30chavan/e0sa9pese2p4/wish/174457551 Conductor of knowledge ashok30chavan https://padlet.com/ashok30chavan/e0sa9pese2p4/wish/175600755 Being a lifelong learner is a part of CPD and I really like the thought that Knowledge can not be created and can not be destroyed. So we simply take it from society and transfer it to our students.We are only conductors of knowledge.]]> 2017-06-07 17:04:28 UTC https://padlet.com/ashok30chavan/e0sa9pese2p4/wish/175600755
