=Teaching as Inquiry at Forest View High School =

This space will be used by teachers at Forest View High School to document, share and collaborate about the use and implementation of **//data projectors//** and **//COWS (Computers on Wheels)//** in the classroom. Teachers will also use this wiki to do the same around the introduction of an **//Inquiry Learning model//** at Forest View. The introduction of ICT tools and Inquiry learning at the school is to see whether these tools and this teaching strategy will engage students and improve achievement. There is an excellent presentation by Graeme Aitken of Auckland University on Effective Teaching and the Teaching as Inquiry Model. I encourage FVHS teachers to actively participate in this online learning community of practice, and to post your comments/thoughts in the discussion area. The idea is that this process will help us improve our practice and ensure our students have a positive and successful learning experience.

Our professional learning will be done using an action learning cycle, or teaching as inquiry cycle, to help us reflect on and adapt our practice. **Action-Learning is the process of consciously learning from one’s own experience and that of others – in order to improve future practice (both personal and professional).** ==  ==
