We need to provide students with:
* opportunities for dialogue
* authentic problem solving
* applied problem solving
* role playing methods

Easier to do in Science as a Human Endeavour, Maths proficiencies, and play based learning.

Holding the line – Conferencing

	CONFERENCING
Passive		Active
Low Challenge		High Challenge
teacher select books/ texts		Learners select books/ texts
Teachers manage learners progress		Learners monitor their progress
Teachers control the tasks and choices		Learners negotiate tasks and choices

Conferencing with individual students about their reading comprehension allows:

the learner to direct the conversation, by referring to their notes

mirroring of student thinking

modelling of think-aloud

making notes for intentional teaching (catering for student needs)

activating learning goals

formative assessment

Effective conferences motivate learners to make connections, find relationships and justify their thinking.

Adding it Up

Ideas and methods are valued
Students have autonomy in choosing and sharing their methods of solving problems
There is an appreciation of the value of mistakes as a sign of learning
