=Trevor Bond Workshop=

All Cluster staff attended a 2 day workshop at Motu School.
==Teachers stayed at the Motu Community House and Trevor stayed with the Motu principal Paul Cornwall.==

Trevor introduced his inquiry model and shared the Questioning Rubric
Trevor suggested it was vital to collect base data about our students questioning ability before we started. This is the model and Motu Schools result



We shared the paper Plane Model with Trevor which we later based the WOK Expo

Trevor challenged teachers to think about our aims and goals in teaching, he proposed that teachers could consider how their programmes can alter students world view by working outwards from behaviours/skills. Trevor has a clear model with the Thinking Competency as the major contributor to student success. His Inquiry learning model has this at the forefront with highly scaffolded - task based learning to develop students thinking skills. Each school spent a significant amount of time developing their learning models. Trevor has kindly offered to create a graphic that encompasses the culture of each school along withthe text that teachers felt best described the learning they were striving to achieve with students. The next step is for the cluster to modify and use the following unit to the next step in Inquiry Learning







As a result of this professional development all students across the cluster participated in a base data gathering of their questioing levels and skills.The senior e-buddy programme will focus on developing and lifting the questioning skills of all students across the cluster. Trevor is going to collate and monitor this data.
