Presentations from Teachers Matter Conference
Starters I could use:
- "Just like me" - say statement, children who agree stand up and say "Just like me"
- Clock - make a clock, write your own name at 12, then go around and ask others: are you free at....? Can say at times of the day: Buddy up with your 3 o'clock buddy.
Perceptions:
What we see, how we see ourselves
- need to respect children of the 21st century - they grew up differently than us.
Thinking maps
- powerful graphic structure
- circle maps - colour code different types of information
- bubble map - similar to circle maps, but info but into bubbles, don't give template, could be double bubble
- tree map - topic on top, different branches for sub categories below, can also use colour coding
Philosphy for Children
- community of learning where people support each other and discuss issues that are relevant to the classroom.
- Inquiry develops the four Cs: collaborative, critical, caring and creative
- sit in circle, use talking stick (etc) and give questions chd need to discuss
