Section 8: Making sense of the learning from the initial enquiry

The second phase of a student commission involves taking the outcomes of the initial (phase 1) enquiry and consolidating them into a framework of key ideas or propositions about learning that your commission will investigate through practical enquiry projects during phase 2.

Your commission should be asking:

•    What are the most compelling, interesting and exciting ideas about learning that we have heard so far?
•    What do we want to focus on and explore further?
•    What gaps in our enquiry do we need to address in phase 2?
•    What kinds of evidence will inspire teachers to change their practice and leaders to make bold decisions
  about what will be implemented?
   

In this section of the toolkit you will find information about:

8.1 Developing compelling early ideas about learning
8.2 Sharing and building understanding of the early ideas about learning
