== =2011 Inquiry=

We have set up a wiki to focus on our professional inquiry for 2011.

We are working with Mrs Raewyn Sills as our mentor and guide.

We have shared some professional reading together.
Shirley Clarke's Active Learning Through Formative Assessment. We had a particular focus on the section where the context is explicitly differentiated from the learning Intention. This was in Chapter 7, "what Makes Effective Learning Objectives?" pp 81-91 We looked at the tables and discussed the things that can make the learning objectives muddled.

Raewyn Sills gave us a reading from The Literacy Professional Development Project. "Improving Learning for All" It's All about the Students: Helping Students Become Self-regulated Learners. We had some interesting discussions about this article and shared ways that children have told us that they know that they are making progress and how they can articulate their next steps.
