Summary
This month Darryl and I discuss the importance of Blanchelande's Year 9 Signature Work and its impact on student learning. The conversation highlighted the challenges of measuring academic attainment through signature work and explored the difference between student engagement and academic attainment. Key Takeaways from this podcast • The impact of the year nine signature work on student learning and engagement, highlighting the challenges of measuring academic attainment through this approach. • The discussion explored the change in students' attitudes towards learning as a result of their engagement with signature work. • Future directions and implementation strategies for the year nine signature work. • The conversation emphasised the importance of an early introduction to inquiry-based learning and its potential impact on the quality of work and attitude towards inquiry in the future. • We covered the role of habit in the learning process, drawing parallels between the development of information literacy skills and inquiry skills. • The conversation also highlighted the starting point of inquiry as an attitude of wonder and puzzlement, emphasising the importance of cultivating a desire to learn. Note: We did not explain fully why it is called 'signature' work. The short and simple explanation is that students are asked to produce something they would be happy to sign or put their signature to... Understanding that this is their work and should be proud to sign it.
