Our staff chose to meet again on this day and finish later in the year to ensure we had our Inquiry Model in place with plenty of time to ensure all staff were ready to start the new year. We looked back on what we had achieved on Friday and made a few little changes to represent the thinking that has taken place over the weekend. We then went through and made a set of students notes to go with the teacher notes. After a much needed drink at morning tea time we continued with the appendices that we needed to add. This included different thinking tools, stratgies, graphic organisers, skills to be taught, etc.
This day produced some differing opinions on how this document was to go together. After further discussions as well as disagreements, we compromised on a solution that all agreed on.
We also worked on a planning sheet for all teaching staff to use. This also produced discussion on what needed to be included. We drafted a model for all staff to use. We decided that all staff needed to have input as all will be using but we now have a starting point. .
