Rich Meaningful Tasks** Problems that reflect the real problems/questions in the world Real life work for deeper understandings Seeing projects through to completion having a real impact Constantly encouraging **connections** and getting students to **reflect (articulate their thinking**) (metacognition- self talk, the talking in your head make sure children are aware of this, as well as visualisation/ imaging). This promotes behaviours of transference and generally leads to students doing this independently as they have success with this thinking behaviour.

 * Reflection Tools/ Ideas**

Animal Reflection Habits of Mind Reflection Reflection on a goal (student selected) Reflections over time

The most powerful reflections come from questions- questions come from noticing something, interesting, difficult, different, similar.

What was the most difficult part of that experience? Why? Why do you think that didn't work? What did you notice about...?
 * Teachers facilitate this with deliberate questioning....**

//**CREATE

Think**// Choose some future teaching to plan for, what could you do to enhance the common language in the classroom? How could you structure this learning around a meaningful rich problem with a purposeful outcome?

//**Pair**// Talk with your partner about you ideas so far, can you help one another to develop your ideas?

//**Share**// Share your plan with the group, as a group we will offer more to each plan think of resources/tools that might add to your planning.

The rest of the day is yours to plan for and develop any tools you need for your class' future learning experiences. You may need to make resources either digitally or physically. This is a self-directed learning time with support.
