Step Three: Plan
- In your group, share the information obtained by each group member.
- Discuss how you would like to structure learning in your school. You may need to reach a compromise if everyone is not in agreement:
*With your group develop one to two sentences that summarize your group's philosophy of education. How do you think students learn best?
*Consider the "principles" or characteristics of the teaching practice that will occur in your school. For example: "Learners must be actively involved in the learning process." What will teaching and learning look like in your school? - Your building plan must support the types of activities students will be performing in your school. Complete the Building Plan Scaffold, which will help you plan the spaces in your school. Note that there are two options for your planning (planning table or mind map). Choose the one that makes the most sense to you.
Teacher Note:
To help with your research and planning, you were provided with scaffolds to help you succeed. The Research Guide provided a structure for recording and sharing your research findings. The Building Plan Scaffold was designed to help you consider how your building will support your desired teaching practice.
Students often need scaffolding to succeed with tasks such as these. As they gain experience, they should be able to create their own scaffolds and complete projects with less support.
