The Art of Planning Deeper Learning | Totally Learned As A Deep Learning Experience Deep Learning experiences develop when the learner is able to identify and link pre-existing knowledge and understandings. As the learning becomes deeper the learner is then able to extend and apply their ideas. As teachers this is what our classroom should be all about – to use activities and questions to construct opportunities to achieve more complex and deeper understandings Recently I had the pleasure of listening to John Hattie speak at a launch of the ‘New Pedagogies for Deep Learning’ project. In reflection I couldn’t help but draw comparisons with my own Deep Learning that was occurring. SOLO TaxonomySOLO stands for ‘Structure of the Observed Learning Outcomes’. Some levels of SOLO can be described as Surface Learning and others as Deeper Learning. In addition to assessing understanding it can useful for designing strategies and questions for the classroom. Some things to check out about SOLO Taxonomy. With the inclusion of collaboration: Like this:
The Ecology of a Classroom: Applying Maslow’s Hierarchy, Bloom’s Taxonomy and SOLO A note from the the author (Laura McInerney): As the GCSE storm continues teachers know that they must simply brace themselves for the political weather and carry on regardless. Politics is important, but the students sitting in front of you are always more important.Truly great teachers know that - in the end - the biggest difference you can make as a teacher is in your planning, preparation and delivery. For that reason I decided not to start the year off with a blog about politics but instead about lesson planning. It's an unglamorous parts of the job, but it's critical, and at the start of the year when the summer has been so full of anxiety, it can be even harder. Below are some starting points for thinking about planning when you're stuck, or demotivated, or worrying about a class. Mostly I wrote it aimed at new teachers, but I think there are thoughts in there for veterans of the classroom too! First Aid has “ABC” as its guide. Why Maslow? SO – back to history.
SOLO based approaches and effective strategies From HookED Wiki When schools create a “thinking toolbox” of skills and dispositions, they risk teaching for the knowing of thinking, rather than the understanding of thinking. (For an example of a thinking toolbox click on thumbnail below - adapted from Hook, P. (2006). A Thinking Curriculum. The meta language for learning from The Structure of Observed Learning Outcome (SOLO) model (Biggs and Collis, 1998) allows schools to teach for this understanding of thinking. Using SOLO levels to differentiate learning outcomes can be applied to any approach and or strategy used for thinking - enabling both teachers and students to better target support for specific learning outcomes.
