Yesterday Inquiry Hub teacher John Sarte and I did a webinar with Will Richardson. In it, we shared the ‘Every Learner is a Hero’ whiteboard model we’ve been developing. I realize that this was drawn over 2 years ago and yet this was the first time we shared it in full.
There is a lot here, and John and I will share more, but here are some ideas on this whiteboard that I’ve already shared:
- The metaphor of Teacher as Compass – Think also of ‘Teacher as Guide’.
- The relationship between Learning and Failure , which involves re-examining the term failure.
It’s about more than just Transforming our Classrooms…
It’s about creating a place for students to Dream, Create, and Learn… where student voice isn’t just about students presenting, but also about them helping to develop and create the learning spaces and experiences they want.
Students should be the heroes of their own learning journeys… after all it’s their learning that really matters.
