How can we redesign our approach to collaborative inquiry to meet the diverse needs of our teachers and students.

What are some methods/technology I can use to engage a school staff to collaborate with each other.

Design

Q. How do you know what design structure works?

Things to Consider... -WSD vs ISD -Direct instuction vs constructivist instruction -Exploring the demographics (what is working, who is it working for) -21st century transferable skills -Identifying data to analyze patterns -Organizing/collating data to inform our practice

Design Thinking Process 1.Empathize 2.Define 3.Ideate 4.Prototype 5.Test

Problem Solving

Q. How can we ask questions without leading our learners to the answer by using technology?

Things to Consider... -Identify data to analyze patterns & themes from the evidence collected -Reflect on past practice -re-visit the inquiry process/stages -Form questions/solutions to problems or data findings

Problem Solving Steps 1. Define the problem 2. Analyze & brainstorm possible solutions 3. Implement & follow up on the solutions

Collaboration

Q. What will the communication look like? Q. Is everyone familiar with the technology being used? Q. Is someone taking the lead? Who is responsible for what?

Things to Consider... -Ensuring an understanding for the stages of inquiry -Creating an understanding & respect for everyone's ideas -What tools or techonology to collaborate as a group

Methods of Collaboration: -Face to Face communication -Online platforms/messaging -Video conferencing -Verbal communication -Mind Mapping -Group meetings -PLC/ PRO D days -Team teaching

Stage 1. Framing the problem & developing an inquiry question "Collaborative inquiry is one of the most powerful enablers of changes in practice that can influence student learning" (James and McCormick, 2009, Katz and Earl, 2010). Discussion Post Examples: PLC, collaboration meetings with teachers, using both ill-structured vs well-structured domains in professional practice, directing inquiry-based projects and lessons, professional learning opportunities, WSD activities.

Stage 2. Collecting Evidence & identifying types of data for school improvement "If collaborative inquiry is the engine for professional learning in the way described above, then data provide the fuel. Data do not answer questions; instead they provide lenses for teachers and leaders to think about and understand their contexts and their work better as both a starting point and a monitoring mechanism for the kind of professional learning that can change what happens in schools and classrooms" (Earl & Katz, 2006). Discussion Post Examples: Surveys, interviews, meetings, x blocks, Google forum, IEPs, student learning data, demographic data, perceptual data

Stage 3. Analyzing Evidence "Collaborative problem solving, with a foundation in consul- tation as a service delivery approach, is an effective and efficient way of providing services because it aims to help more students, focus on solving problems in direct ways, involve relevant individuals in the inter- vention planning, and ultimately enhance classroom and school success for students (Allen & Graden, 2002). Discussion Post Examples: Collecting & analyzing data, ISD problems, WSD problems, problems as challenges, metacognitive strategies, using web-based technology

Stage 4. Celebrating & Sharing "In the fourth stage, collaborative inquiry teams celebrate their learning and share the knowledge and insights gained with their colleagues. Collaborative inquiry should result in educators coming to a new understanding about how to support student learning [to aid in designing and planning for the future]. " (Learning Forward Ontario, 2011). Discussion Post Examples: Google forum, returning to the inquiry question, reflecting on the inquiry process, engaging in next steps, showcase of learning, book clubs, modifying inquiry based lessons to students for next time

Stages of Inquiry

Inquiry

Q. Who should lead the inquiry process? Q. Are there roles and responsibilities for staff to ensure accountability and foster engagement?

Things to Consider... -Admin, Department Heads or Teacher Team Leaders -What inquiry process will your team follow? -Are all staff familiar with the process/steps? -Size of the group -Are our learners engaged in their learning -How can we influence, celebrate & share -Are we modeling collaboration to our students

Examples: - IEP meetings - Projects - Inquiry based learning: -structured inquiry -controlled inquiry -guided inquiry -free inquiry
