Today on #INZPirED: How do we restructure our curriculum to ensure we enable modern learners? https://t.co/kNiaH29b92

KSThakral - Moderator May 6 @ 10:32 PM EDT

At the moment, a majority of schools shoehorn 21st century skills into a curriculum approach, rooted in the 20th century #INZPirED

DJCE57 - Moderator May 6 @ 10:32 PM EDT

@KSThakral Good morning, Sunny:-) #INZpirED

DJCE57 - Moderator May 6 @ 10:33 PM EDT

@KSThakral don't get me started on this...f r u s t r a t i o n #1! #INZpirED

KSThakral - Moderator May 6 @ 10:34 PM EDT

How would you change the learning spaces, planning, PD to support an innovative curriculum? #INZPirED https://t.co/XogItssctz

Morning James from KL here #INZpirED

KSThakral - Moderator May 6 @ 10:34 PM EDT

@DJCE57 I know..We are working on this approach at TBS Kathmandu so change is happening #INZPirED

KSThakral - Moderator May 6 @ 10:35 PM EDT

@eslweb Morning James. #INZPirED Would love to hear your thoughts on what a modern curriculum would look like?

DJCE57 - Moderator May 6 @ 10:35 PM EDT

@eslweb Yay, it's James! #INZpirED

DJCE57 - Moderator May 6 @ 10:35 PM EDT

@KSThakral lucky you! #INZpirED

DJCE57 - Moderator May 6 @ 10:36 PM EDT

@KSThakral @eslweb I'm sure James has a lot of great ideas for this. I'm all ears. #INZpirED

KSThakral - Moderator May 6 @ 10:37 PM EDT

@DJCE57 Had to get over the loyalty to subject vs true innovation & benefits to learners. ICT is the first subject to change #INZPirED

leonie_hastings May 6 @ 10:38 PM EDT

#INZpirED.Hi Leonie Hastings NZ.My Ss work on bean bags on floor,lying on floor,at desks on couch etc Ss have a flexible learning environmt

eslweb May 6 @ 10:38 PM EDT

#INZPirED - I'd begin with the end in mind! What do we want our students to become.

DJCE57 - Moderator May 6 @ 10:39 PM EDT

@KSThakral can you give me some more samples of how you changed ICT? #INZpirED

KSThakral - Moderator May 6 @ 10:39 PM EDT

@leonie_hastings Indeed classroom design needs to change - move away from the factory approach. #INZPirED

eslweb May 6 @ 10:39 PM EDT

#INZPirED I'd want a focus on skills that enable further learning and specialisation.

Gail_Boddy May 6 @ 10:39 PM EDT

Hello #INZpirED colleagues.

cybraryman1 May 6 @ 10:39 PM EDT

Modern curriculum would allow for Blended Learning https://t.co/oJw6uZpZzo & learning any place & any time #INZpirED

KSThakral - Moderator May 6 @ 10:39 PM EDT

@eslweb How do we encourage that on a whole school level? Is scrapping subjects in favour of projects/specialism the key? #INZPirED

DJCE57 - Moderator May 6 @ 10:40 PM EDT

@leonie_hastings sounds comfy...do you feel this has improved the Ss learning and engagement? #INZpirED

eslweb May 6 @ 10:40 PM EDT

#INZpirED Early Years - Play Bases Primary - Reading, numeracy & Comp. thinking Secondary - Broad choices to help find way in world.

KSThakral - Moderator May 6 @ 10:41 PM EDT

#INZPirED How do we go about changing this? Would love to hear your thoughts Christina. https://t.co/BVuN7l9Btt

ChristinaMLuce May 6 @ 10:39 PM EDT

@KSThakral sad, but true.

leonie_hastings May 6 @ 10:41 PM EDT

@DJCE57 #INZpirED. Yes Ss enjoy the freedom of where to work that suits their lrng style

eslweb May 6 @ 10:41 PM EDT

Subjects are at least a stepping stone to choice. #INZpirED But take it further give students real skills with real use!

KSThakral - Moderator May 6 @ 10:41 PM EDT

@Gail_Boddy Hi Gail. How would you change the curriculum if you had the chance? #INZPirED

leonie_hastings May 6 @ 10:41 PM EDT

#INZpirED.I think a MLE shld be more S directed & less stdised testing. Ss shld be engaged thru Ts relating lrng to their interests & needs

KSThakral - Moderator May 6 @ 10:42 PM EDT

@cybraryman1 So schools have to adapt to a different model - perhaps the school day would look different too #INZPirED

DJCE57 - Moderator May 6 @ 10:42 PM EDT

@eslweb interesting you say that, attended WS->we are no longer preparing Ss for jobs that will be available 2 them in the future. #INZpirED

Gail_Boddy May 6 @ 10:42 PM EDT

Not so much the curriculum, but the app each is amenable to change #INZpirED https://t.co/g3B05lDkc3

@Gail_Boddy Hi Gail. How would you change the curriculum if you had the chance? #INZPirED

I find flexible seating does supports engagement @DJCE57 @leonie_hastings #inzpired

eslweb May 6 @ 10:43 PM EDT

#INZpirED It's very true! Jobs in future likely to divide into high EQ & IQ and relatively little in-between. @DJCE57

@leonie_hastings Exploratory learning led by Ss - contributing to peer planning, assessment and delivery with an element of choice #INZPirED

DJCE57 - Moderator May 6 @ 10:44 PM EDT

@eslweb agree w/subjects for primary years, need foundation. Then can choose more as they get older. #INZpirED

HS_Taylor May 6 @ 10:44 PM EDT

@eslweb @DJCE57 Hi James I think jobs have not changed that much, they still require same skills and knowledge (building blocks?) #INZpirED

KSThakral - Moderator May 6 @ 10:45 PM EDT

@1925MP @DJCE57 @leonie_hastings Agree - allowing movement in the class also engages some learners. Different zones can help too #INZPirED

cybraryman1 May 6 @ 10:46 PM EDT

#INZpirED I'd also say that with 'Great freedom comes great responsiblity' #Voice & #Responsibility go together https://t.co/YoQlixOAtb

DJCE57 - Moderator May 6 @ 10:46 PM EDT

@HS_Taylor @eslweb speaker was referring to jobs available in 10-15 years? The rote memory/traditional set up may no longer apply. #INZpirED

ChristinaMLuce May 6 @ 10:46 PM EDT

@KSThakral start with more learner-centered classrooms. Encourage student leadership. Process the process as much as the content.#INZpirED

How would you do this across school? Still stick with subjects /year groups or change the whole approach? #INZPirED https://t.co/ptFKoM9NH1

#INZpirED Go to a more uni approach with mandatory pass courses opening up many more options per semester....

HS_Taylor May 6 @ 10:48 PM EDT

@DJCE57 @eslweb My contention is some things need be rote learnt to allow further development... early building blocks = essential #INZpirED

Gail_Boddy May 6 @ 10:48 PM EDT

Critical thinking and sound communication are vital #INZpirED https://t.co/IC4YFctZYO

@ChristinaMLuce @KSThakral #inzpired Yes! It's the process Ss need 2 fall in luv with. Each has own approach 2 discover. Let's support that.

conniehamilton May 6 @ 10:49 PM EDT

Are there Qs for #INZpirED?

eslweb May 6 @ 10:49 PM EDT

@HS_Taylor @DJCE57 E.g. You can't read without learning letters & words, right.... #INZpirED

DJCE57 - Moderator May 6 @ 10:50 PM EDT

@HS_Taylor @eslweb oh definitely, foundation is crucial, Lang Arts and Math. But besides that...#INZpirED

HS_Taylor May 6 @ 10:50 PM EDT

@eslweb @DJCE57 yes that is one aspect but for computing need to rote learn many things (and each subject still needs some rote!) #INZpirED

KSThakral - Moderator May 6 @ 10:51 PM EDT

@JenaiaMorane @ChristinaMLuce Welcome Jena. We have flex. classrooms, S led, anytime anywhere learning. What else would you add? #INZPirED

cybraryman1 May 6 @ 10:53 PM EDT

@KSThakral My Learning page https://t.co/3x0WQaqtFa Must remember each student learns differently. Give them choices. #INZpirED

leonie_hastings May 6 @ 10:54 PM EDT

@eslweb @HS_Taylor @DJCE57 #INZpirED.True.Ss need to learn to read books & write S name, numbers etc & stories. ICT devices are tools 4 lrng

Gail_Boddy May 6 @ 10:54 PM EDT

Predictions of future employment market are unpredictable. Hence learning #SkillsForLife are the essentials #INZpirED

JenaiaMorane May 6 @ 10:54 PM EDT

@Gail_Boddy #inzpired Agree-Critical thinking &!communication that encourage healthy debate & ?ing. Must learn 2 appreciate differences.

KSThakral - Moderator May 6 @ 10:55 PM EDT

@conniehamilton We only have one and explore that in depth. Today’s is focussing on what 21st century curriculum looks like #INZPirED

HS_Taylor May 6 @ 10:55 PM EDT

@Gail_Boddy I like skills for life (and lets have knowledge for life too) #cantgoogleeverything #INZpirED

@conniehamilton #inzpired Usually just one Connie.

JenaiaMorane May 6 @ 10:55 PM EDT

@ChristinaMLuce @KSThakral #inzpired Waves!

DJCE57 - Moderator May 6 @ 10:56 PM EDT

@eslweb @HS_Taylor there are some non negotiables needed from N-8 maybe? Can still inject wrtng, rdng, math in the more fun subj #INZpirED

JenaiaMorane May 6 @ 10:57 PM EDT

@KSThakral @ChristinaMLuce #inzpired Feel strongly that Ss need SEL as much as academics. That's where adult experience can make big diff.

eslweb May 6 @ 10:57 PM EDT

@DJCE57 @HS_Taylor I think that's it. Being able to read, logically think & communicate requires a series of knowledge & skills.#INZpirED

JenaiaMorane May 6 @ 10:57 PM EDT

@DJCE57 @KSThakral #inzpired Hi Diana!

KSThakral - Moderator May 6 @ 10:58 PM EDT

Summarising so far: Flex classrooms, S-led, anytime anywhere, project based, skills4life rather than facts, some non negotiables #INZPirED

KSThakral - Moderator May 6 @ 10:59 PM EDT

@JenaiaMorane @ChristinaMLuce True. Schools should be a learning place for all aspects of human life #INZPirED

DJCE57 - Moderator May 6 @ 10:59 PM EDT

@JenaiaMorane @KSThakral only 3 weeks to go for me, Jena...then I can breathe😅😂 #INZpirED

JenaiaMorane May 6 @ 11:00 PM EDT

@eslweb @DJCE57 @HS_Taylor #inzpired Yes intellectual knowledge but together w/SEL. Brain connected 2 body & feelings affect ability 2 learn

DJCE57 - Moderator May 6 @ 11:00 PM EDT

Agree...they are key but can be taught in a more fun way, that sticks. #INZpirED https://t.co/nqQ84rHhS8

eslweb May 6 @ 11:01 PM EDT

#INZpirED I'd love to map learning like an RPG. Think this would really bring out what students need & ops generated https://t.co/bBUyYCQJtw

JenaiaMorane May 6 @ 11:01 PM EDT

@DJCE57 @eslweb @HS_Taylor #inzpired Feel all learning can be fun & those skills a natural part of PBL in RL settings incorporating SEL

HS_Taylor May 6 @ 11:02 PM EDT

@eslweb So we could have experience and levels in different skills / subjects #INZpirED

KSThakral - Moderator May 6 @ 11:02 PM EDT

Adding SEL to the list, community involvement and a move away from standardised testing to perhaps contextual assessment? #INZPirED

eslweb May 6 @ 11:03 PM EDT

@HS_Taylor Yeah, that's what I think... I mean we're almost there with #Coding but imagine for a WHOLE curriculum. #INZpirED

JenaiaMorane May 6 @ 11:03 PM EDT

@KSThakral @ChristinaMLuce #inzpired Nice way 2 put it Sunny. That's why interface between school & RL needs 2b permeable IMHO.

cvarsalona May 6 @ 11:03 PM EDT

@cybraryman1 @KSThakral choices lead to strong voices if guided & encouraged. #INZpirED

HS_Taylor May 6 @ 11:03 PM EDT

@JenaiaMorane @DJCE57 @eslweb Can ALL learning be fun? Should it ALL be fun? Real life post school is not all fun #INZpirED

leonie_hastings May 6 @ 11:03 PM EDT

@DJCE57 @eslweb @HS_Taylor #INZpirED.Definitely. My Ss love Literacy & Maths skills on #SkoolBo app.They get points, compete in quiz for fun

KSThakral - Moderator May 6 @ 11:04 PM EDT

@cvarsalona @cybraryman1 So believe in choice. Meeting our class reps next week to talk about what they want to learn next year. #INZPirED

DJCE57 - Moderator May 6 @ 11:04 PM EDT

@HS_Taylor @JenaiaMorane @eslweb no doesn't need to be all fun but definitely engaging - that's more important. #INZpirED

@JenaiaMorane That bit is easy - teaching others. Have a parent showcase as their assessment perhaps #INZPirED

@KSThakral @JenaiaMorane Rubrics and exemplars also great for helping students learn to assess. #INZpirED Hattie puts this at top of list.

JenaiaMorane May 6 @ 11:13 PM EDT

@KSThakral #inzpired Saw a video of Ss assessing themselves. They were tough! Several didn't think had done good enuf job & redid projects!
