Collaboration

topic 4 .I love Mcgregors section on collaborating and what it looks like. After reading up on all of the learning theories, she says 1. to meet with teachers and emphasise the act that to share learning goals that go beyond content-based goals, learning activities will have more meaning. 2.Plan authentic learning activities that engage learners and get them to think creatively and generate discussion through brainstorming and discussion. 3.Integrate coaching, questioning and guiding into thoughtful teaching activities.. teaching alongside the teacher gives the student more access to more experts. 4. Make everyone aware of why are we doing this? As well as what are we supposed to do? 5. Finally talk to them as they learn. Have conversations that help them make sense of the info. Let them know their ideas are interesting and questions are of consequence. Encourage talking on the topic. show them that doubt and uncertainty are often necessary precursors to learning. (Just as applicable to me really).
