Time to go already. Had a great visit today to a really innovative and radical approach to education in the senior phase. Talked to a lot of students generally about their learning which they initiated. Very interesting and truly interdisciplinary. They work in a purpose built building though so there are as many implications for teachers as there are for the students. It’s very open plan so all teaching is in view all the time and teachers are expected to work across disciplines a lot of the time, it was quite inspiring and I will have to reflect on the purposes behind it before writing something more coherent. In the meantime check out the website at the Australian Science and Mathematics School. I sat in on a Sustainble Futures lesson this morning called the Ethnosphere module where pupils were learning about writing poetry in a scientific manner. Lots and lots to learn to inform interdisciplinary learning in Curriculum for Excellence.
