Induction - Day 1

What

It's 4:14pm at the end of my first day of learning at #OrmPS.   My brain is feeling rather frayed at the edges, and more so as I push my way back through what I have learned today... right back to the beginning at 8:00am this morning.

Various acronyms - both already known and new, e.g. WALT, WWLF and TIB became part of our dialogue as we covered the vision, vision principles and learning model which is the backbone of who we are at Ormiston Primary.

Simon Sinek's 'Golden Circle'...

...will become a frequent 'go to' as idevelop, iexplore and iexperience so that 'i' can:

Guarantee every learner engages in 

innovative, personalised, world-class learning.

We will use the Spiral of Inquiry cycle to design the learning the teaching.

This new framework is the involvement of learners, their families and communities, underpinning and permeating each of the phases shown, from the beginning and throughout the whole process (Timperley et al, 2014).

A learning activity to help understand the Spiral of Inquiry cycle

Learning and reflective tools such as Google Sites, Hapara and Blogger will become part of our daily practice.  My Google site will be a place to embed videos, insert photos and link to the Practising Teacher Criteria.  This blog will be my place to reflect and capture all the wonderful learning opportunities and reflections.
