First Day - planning as a team

Today we met as a team - principal, superintendent, classroom teachers, and learning connection partners. Our main goal was to choose which of the six competencies - character, citizenship, collaboration, communication, creativity, or critical thinking - our team would be focusing on over the next few months. As the school focus was on math, we decided to dig into the critical thinking competency.

The dimensions covered in this learning progression include:

• evaluating information and arguments
• making connections and identifying patterns
• meaningful knowledge construction
• experimenting, reflecting and taking action on their ideas in the real world
• collaborative knowledge construction
• leveraging digital

Our team is looking at using Census at School as a starting point for the collection of data. We plan to divide into primary and junior teams and document our journey using this blog. 

We are hoping to connect the schools to share data and collaborate to analyse the data. We are all looking forward to the partnership and this journey.
