Thinking classrooms in action! ✏️

On Wednesday of Week 16, Kate’s Line 3 Year 11 English class walked into the classroom to find a new host of whiteboards awaiting them. Students tested out the whiteboards by dividing into groups and creating excellent chapter summaries for ‘The Great Gatsby’ to assist with their revision of the novel. 📖

Using whiteboards in an activity such as this is an example of ‘Thinking Classrooms’, an educational framework where one of the key components includes having students up on their feet and talking, working on vertical non-permanent surfaces such as whiteboards. Research shows this increases participation, eliminates the fear of making mistakes, and promotes peer-to-peer knowledge sharing.

This Week is National Reconciliation Week

Reconciliation week is for learning about the shared histories of Australians, and sharing Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander culture and achievements. Here at Hawker College, we acknowledge the Ngunnawal people as the original custodians of the land on which we teach and learn, and value this connection to Country and community. We commit to and are 'All In' for reconciliation every day, now and into the future.
