Fast and wiggly

What led to this learning?
I was noticing that learners weren't able to respect other learner's personal bubbles. This learning was introduced to help tactile learners make good decisions for themselves without impacting others.
Summary of learning design:
My learning design introduced movements that the learners can agentically do within the hub when they feel like they need to move or they have an urge to touch someone. Their are a number of different movements big and small that they can choose from on the wall.
Reflection on Learning Design
I introduced quite a few new concepts and movements all at once, on reflection a little too many! Next time I will introduce the concept over consecutive days. We have however, used the visuals and the concept quite often over the last month and the learners know they can go and choose an activity off the board to do when they feel 'fast and wiggly'. Some learners are also actively asking to do a 'fast and wiggly' activity when they are feeling like they need it! It feels like a positive agentic addition to our learners toolkit to help them manage their own emotions.

Grow my voice - Sharing stories

What led to this learning? When using the reading strategies I posted in a previous comment I noticed that learners did not have an authentic place to record their reading strategies. Summary of learning design: So I created a blog where the learners could record and share their reflections of stories. They record their story then write a blog post including the following elements - reading strategies, levels and genres. So the learners are developing their assessment capability as well as learning from other learners and their reflections. Reflection on Learning Design Learners have grown in their vocabulary and this is mainly due to seeing the reflections of other learners and how they are phrasing their blog posts as well as using the reading strategies to extend their writing.

Fire and the Flood - Developing a New Community

What led to this learning? This learning came out of observations from Term 1, where we saw limited acts of deliberate collaboration within our learners. When they did choose to collaborate, it was within their close peer friendship groupings and was more of a working alongside each other, rather than collaborating based on differentiated strengths to meet a shared goal. We wanted a learning experience where learners would be forced to rely on each other in order to succeed and give a shared emphasis on each learner playing their own unique part to realise communal success (or survival in this case.) Summary of learning design: This was the initial learning design where we brainstormed what kinds of facilities we might need in a new settlement. This was the prerequisite to the physical construction and town layout design. I have also included my amended Google draw reflection which was part of the later planning refining process. Reflection on Learning Design As this was given to learn...

Junior Agency Self Perception Tool (JAT)

The tool measures the level of agency learners have to take ownership of their learning and make informed decision with the tools and strategies they use.  The survey will provide us with detail so we can evaluate the progress over time and the shifts we need to make. It will provide us with information to make adjustments to our learning design and deliberate acts of teaching.  We have standardised tests to access reading, writing and maths. We have designed a survey to provide us with more standardised and comparative data the focuses on the soft skills for example growing collaboration.  The soft skills that are measured are Reliance/determination Self Aware Take Action Using Tools and Strategies Collaboration' Assessment Capable The 6 Agency capabilities are representative of across school CoL goals and come out of our Stonefields School signature practices.... These comprise of the  'big 3'  Learning Pit, Learning ...
