Key Takeaways

Design your CI Unit

Understand the 5-phases of the CI and leverage templates and examples to create your plan to implement the CI successfully.

Plan your Assessment

The CI must be assessed and include a group and individual mark as well as assess the product and the process. Discover how to do this using evidence-based practices

Teach it Well

Get teaching and learning ideas and strategies that will help ensure the CI is done well and creates student success.

Learning Capacity

Discover how to best support and develop your students' learning capacity using the CI.

Collaborate

Network and collaborate with other teachers as you create and explore the CI.

Simplicity

Get access to an example student workbook and other resources to save you time and ensure you are ready for this element of the new course.

What is the critical inquiry approach to learning?

The new HMS syllabus states it should be taught using a critical inquiry approach. Critical inquiry is all about asking questions, going deep with the learning, and developing curiosity.

If we base our teaching and learning on this it looks a bit like PBL, but it is based on inquiry (questions) rather than a project. It is the required approach for the new HMS syllabus.

Included in the workshop

You will be guided through a unit design process based on current research and best practices. You will be given templates, example units of work and engaging ideas to use in your lessons.

You will also be fed morning tea and lunch.

All for just $440 inc GST

Feedback from previous workshops

"Really valuable workshop will help give our school a running start in developing a program for next year. "

"It is a great workshop that I strongly recommend. I achieved a great deal more from this PL in comparison to other organisations. Thank you "

"The confusion of the syllabus has been made clearer and been explicitly presented through samples of work. Exceptional coaching of the syllabus and how to apply it to explicit teaching and learning! "

"An outstanding presentation. Very informative. "

"I didn’t really know much at all or how it (the collaborative investigation) could be formatted in a classroom. Now I understand it and feel confident in facilitating it."

"I was apprehensive about teaching a new syllabus, now through better understanding and confidence I am eager to teach it. I fully understand how to approach it in programming and unit outline and know now what to expect. No surprises. "

"Really enjoyed this workshop, some great activities to do with students."

"This TPl provided Time! Time away from the million distractions of work to actually look at and pull apart the new syllabus. Other Teachers! A room full of PDHPE teachers talking and working together to figure out how this syllabus will look at the classroom level."

"Dan's PL is NEXT LEVEL. I leave his sessions with a renewed vigour to teach."

"Excellent knowledge of content and explained well. Approachable nature and relevant feedback provided when needed. Thanks Dan!"

Dan's knowledge of the content is amazing as are his ideas for practical engagement of students and practical applications. I would recommend this workshop to all PDHPE HSC teachers."

"Dan has exceptional practical knowledge of the art of teaching. He is able to clearly explain how to develop and implement the syllabus and best practice for its implementation. Had a great day with time to meet colleagues and share ideas."

"As a first-timer teaching stage 6 - this course not only developed my knowledge of how to plan and teach the syllabus content in a more meaningful and engaging manner but also developed my confidence in my ability to do so. Highly Recommend."

"I have taught the HSC three times now and I am still finding new ways of teaching and learning through Dan. He showed lots of fun activities that will help me to engage my students again. It did make me feel a little guilty about not doing lots of innovative things in my classroom but I felt like I now have more tools and motivation to better my teaching. Thanks Dan!"
