Week 9 Blog Reflection from each LC on their ‘Learning’ from the Collaborative Spiral of Inquiry- please link to your blog post below
What will we do differently? What will we change? What is our plan? How will we ensure that we are doing something different? What do you need to learn to test your hunch? We know from Halbert & Kaiser that developing hunches “involves getting deeply held beliefs and assumptions out on the table. It doesn’t involve a general brainstorm of all possibilities.” We need to consider what we are contributing to what’s working and what’s not in relation to collaborative practice. How did you (endeavour to) create the conditions that fostered collaboration?What did we do differently?
Tanja and I decided to plan activities together and work with our groups together based on the learner's interests.
We decided to have a chat at the end of the day to find out how the day went.
We decided when Tanja is working with the learners, I will be a roamer to watch the other learners to keep them engaged in the activities.
What was the change?
We combine our hapu group learners quite often, so that the learners get an opportunity to mix and mingle with other hapu group learners. Also, I get an opportunity to support Tanja and learn her way of teaching and understand her perspective and the techniques she uses with the learners.
What was our plan?
When i was working with the learners i used the play based method and we gave an opportunity for the learners to opt in and opt out .
In that case, some learners were showing an interest to participate, some learners opted out in the middle of an activity (Still working on how to solve this (maybe they have to be in the activity for a certain time limit) and then they can join another activity.
I am not sure how i will make sure everybody gets an opportunity to get engaged in the same activity for now. We are still thinking about it-
How did we ensure we were doing something different?
We were trying to give an opportunity for the learners to decide, learners are getting the chance to work together, learning to take turns, an opportunity for them to question themselves and others while they are collaborating, solve problems for themselves and others and learning from each other
What do i need to learn to test the hunch?
I have to collaborate more with Tanja to figure out how we can involve all the learners by providing a collaborative environment and making the learners to be capable to ask questions and be curious about their learning.
We have come up with an idea that Tanja and I set up some activities which gives them a chance to choose where they want to get engaged. Some learners are still not sure where they want to get engaged, in that case i would like to help them to engage in an activity.

Observing and listening to the learners carefully to find out their special interests and share with Tanja
More than two learning experiences for the learners to make a choice to opt in and out
