Learning Outcomes for Independent Learning

  • Honestly, I thought at the beginning “how can we discuss LOs for 3.5 hours” – I have to say it went in a flash – and my brain hurt. I really had to think and work hard.
  • A charcuterie board of delicious delights.
  • I liked the meerkat metaphor for curiosity. I liken myself to a squirrel now with bright eyes and ears pricked as I try to fill my cheeks with all the ideas.
  • I will definitely be putting into practice next week the idea of teachers designing a manifesto for the expert learning traits and how we write learning outcomes and plan learning experiences to develop those attitudes and skills. If we focus on the ‘stuff’, we cannot expect to develop the dispositions.
  • I will be applying the learning when teaching trainee teachers about planning the learning experience. Also when I am running any professional learning sessions for staff. I appreciated the use of colour coding in outcomes for label/verb/skill and outcome (what’s on the table).
  • The walk across the carpet.
  • When writing understand, replace with ‘hear what I have to say’ [to see why it shouldn’t be used]. The meerkat moment.
  • Pedagogy paradise.
  • Loved the colour coding of the learning outcomes especially with respect to the effective domain – will definitely be rechecking all mine and perhaps saving a LO to the end of the lesson to see if it has been met.
  • I loved the concept of a visceral immersion in a learning experience! Lots of food for thought here.

Learning Theorists and the Emotional Learning Journey

  • Social constructivism is the key to unlocking learning.
  • Pandora’s box. Lifting the lid on learning theories.
  • Loved how the different tools are numbered and put under the different theories.
  • I really appreciated learning about the emotional learning states and how teaching and learning strategies can be used to produce the positive or overcome challenges.
  • A game-base approach to learning about learning theory.
  • Really enjoyed it and will definitely use the tool with the 2nd year PGCE students.
  • It was a really useful and thought-provoking session.
