Learn Create Share meets Concept Based Curriculum

The goal for the day was to bring clarity to the pedagogical phases of Learn Create Share in a concept based curriculum.

Kate, our concept based curriculum facilitator, worked with Nicole (from our Junior Hub), Hayden (my 3rd Year UC Student) and I for the day to get some cohesion around how these two philosophies could cohabit within framework here at our school.

We looked at the Backstory, to understand the why behind the concept.

There was a great deal of discussion round what teachers would be doing within each aspect, also what the akonga might be doing. We had a dialogue around what language was used when we were working within the framework, and that I refer to them as phases, but was there a better term? A message was put out to the school leaders to see what others were saying and doing.

We need to begin to use this language. With our older learners, we can be asking which phase of LCS are we operating in.

When talking about concept based curriculum, validity of information was talked about. Resources which fall into two categories:

• Primary Resource - the person who was there at the time.
• Secondary Resource - second-hand information.

From the session, these visuals were created to demonstrate our understanding:
