How can KPs come together to collaborate for meaningful PBL?]]> 2021-08-23 07:27:56 UTC https://padlet.com/moegebr/koro1u2famgjj1a5/wish/1690696278 Pioneer_Desmond lee_chien_shiong https://padlet.com/moegebr/koro1u2famgjj1a5/wish/1690697096 I do see the benefits of connective thinking. Besides languages, I could see connections for Science and Social studies or the use of English Language with Science etc. it’s also how we link content to make lessons more engaging and for students to enjoy the integrative process. I am sure they are amazed by how the language teachers could come together to teach History if the languages, code switching processes etc.]]> 2021-08-23 07:28:21 UTC https://padlet.com/moegebr/koro1u2famgjj1a5/wish/1690697096 frame for problem solving? https://padlet.com/moegebr/koro1u2famgjj1a5/wish/1690733840 - designing the problem for the students seems to be the central / first and foremost important
- EL? Situational Writing? Essay writing context.. eg what are some ways to improve
- small areas of problem solving in Reflections?
- even identifying the problems and having the process for it.

]]> 2021-08-23 07:46:54 UTC https://padlet.com/moegebr/koro1u2famgjj1a5/wish/1690733840 Identify the problem https://padlet.com/moegebr/koro1u2famgjj1a5/wish/1690739480 - how to bring in problems in writing
- situational writing: design a task and getting the stds to think about the problem and construct a proposal or solution
- expository topics, discursive writing
- using problem solving as a stimulus for debate
- give opportunities to practice speaking and writing
- ]]> 2021-08-23 07:51:06 UTC https://padlet.com/moegebr/koro1u2famgjj1a5/wish/1690739480 PBL used in language CR? (Dr Quek) https://padlet.com/moegebr/koro1u2famgjj1a5/wish/1690743604 - one study: Tr asked stds to recommend bringing a book to space
- Tr assessing the stds' understanding of the books and the stds' ability to persuade
- Eg. Dengue: bringing in different perspectives, very relevant for 21st competencies
- Eg. what suggestions to make to multi- task force to persuade the people who are anti-vaccine
- design scenarios that are authentic and sensitive to the stds' background
- when considering the task, what are we focused on teaching?

]]> 2021-08-23 07:54:39 UTC https://padlet.com/moegebr/koro1u2famgjj1a5/wish/1690743604 Is it even necessary to subscribe to any "thinking tool/thinking strategy" to have a good lesson that gives students that space to exercise creative and inventive thinking? Doesn't it boil down to effective teaching strategies and lesson ideas that challenges and expands students' thinking? https://padlet.com/moegebr/koro1u2famgjj1a5/wish/1690759076 2021-08-23 08:07:58 UTC https://padlet.com/moegebr/koro1u2famgjj1a5/wish/1690759076 Thinking Silhouette (TS) in FPS https://padlet.com/moegebr/koro1u2famgjj1a5/wish/1690762405 1. We have many Thinking routines ( in TS ) that are parallel to critical and inventive thinking routines to develop future-ready citizens

2. Breath vs Depth of our programmes ?
- We introduce the TS strategies in a block-based manner.
- Do we want to streamline the TS so that it is progressive in nature so that there is reinforcement?
- There should be explicitly teach the students the various TS.
- Are we going to stick to the same TS routines?
- Can we look into re-defining the TS Routines or refining the silhouettes (persona)
 - i.e how does a sharp evaluator looks like? (look at the qualities)
- align with Frontier's VMV ( Do we need all 6?)

3.  Design thinking and PBL?
- Will it be too heavy for primary school level?

4. How can Thinking Silhouette be weaved inductively into  the curriculum that it becomes a second nature?
- Can it be a standalone teaching by an anchor subject?
- subject collaboration might be a solution to provide context for pupils to use TS
- anchor subject?
- Thinking skills and situational analysis are skills in the CCE 2021. Instead of just IP subjects, we can tap on CCE subjects.

5. How do we assess students ability to use thinking routines at the end of the programme/year.
- Use of rubrics?
- Elaine's response: students level of questioning have levelled up / give  open-ended questions that  has no right or wrong answers and see their questions/responses have evolved as compared to the start of the year.
- Does everything needs to be quantified/ measured? 
- Behavioral Indicators / Observational checklist instead to see how students have changed instead of a summative assessment type.
- students need to be aware of their success criteria.

- Use of Paul's wheel in GEP: first, explicit teaching by subject trs, then get the stds to think about the purpose after that on their own
- eg. even assigning HW with Paul's Wheels and stds select what aspects of PW to use.
