A work in progress! I have been teaching for 30 years and currently work with the awesome Year 2-3 pupils at a small rural primary school in the deep south of New Zealand (was teaching the Year 5-6 pupils for twelve years before that) - every day is different and every day is amazing!

Interesting thoughts!
I totally agree with the comments made in this article...if we took away all the traditional/historical routines that our schools adhere to (for various reasons), then imagine the number of 'Da Vinci' students we would discover in our learning spaces!

Start the year off with lots of inquiry thinking...
Some very interesting points are made here by Australian inquiry 'guru' Kath Murdoch and have certainly got me thinking (again!) about how to incorporate more inquiry thinking across all curriculum areas...

Problem-based Learning - 'real life' in the classroom
Very cool programme - I'm thinking about how I might be able to do the same to make my maths programme more 'real' and more effectively teach skills alongside strategies and knowledge.

From Didactic Pedagogy to New Learning
From the website http://newlearningonline.com/ - lots of information and ideas about modern teaching/learning practices - based on the book by Mary Kalantzis and Bill Cope: New Learning: Elements of a Science of Education, Cambridge University Press, second edition, 2012.

MLP
Linking pedagogy and_space from briace1
From my CORE Education MLP course:
From my CORE Education MLP course:
The slideshow above provides an overview of some research work done by Dr. Kenn Fisher of Melbourne University, where he and his team have developed a framework for thinking about designing learning spaces that match pedagogical intent. The PDF version of the document can be found here.
You'll note that the focus of the work of Fisher and his team is to focus first on the learning that is intended, and the sorts of spaces most enabling of that. The result is to consider the development of learning spaces that are 'fit for purpose' allowing learners the choice of places within the overall environment in which they can work comfortably and appropriately to complete the task in hand.
