Innovative New Zealand secondary teachers are supporting students to gain both deep subject knowledge and a new view of being a road user at the same time. Why road safety? Our roads are a shared and valuable resource, but the way we currently use/see/understand our roads leads to injuries and deaths that have huge costs to families, communities and the economy. Why are innovative teachers spending time on road safety education? A number of innovative secondary teachers are currently using curriculum resources provided by the New Zealand Transport Agency (THE NZ TRANSPORT AGENCY) to challenge young peoples’ mental models about road safety. Fear approaches Improving specific knowledge and skills

Inspiring inquiry through picture books. — Kath Murdoch "The bridge will only take you halfway there, to those mysterious lands you long to see. Through gypsy camps and swirling Arab fair, and moonlit woods where unicorns run free. So come and walk awhile with me and share the twisting trails and wondrous worlds I've known. But this bridge will only take you halfway there. The last few steps you have to take alone." — Shel Silverstein Well before I became interested in inquiry-based learning, I was passionate about the role of literature – particularly picture books – in the classroom. So I am always taken aback when teachers with whom I work struggle to name a picture book or novel they have recently shared with their children – let alone how they plan to use literature to help students make deeper connections within an inquiry . The inquiry classroom needs to be a habitat for story. To contribute to students’ understanding of key CONCEPTS being explored.

Inquiry learning / Effective pedagogy / Media gallery / Curriculum stories Vic Hygate, Windsor School, Christchurch The biggest difference for me as a teacher with ‘inquiry’ is it’s that shifting your students from knowing about their world to understanding their world - and understanding is so much more than knowledge! If I think about my own life, I studied French at high school and I passed French exams. But recently I've been to France and I've actually had to use French and that's actually given me a whole different understanding of the French language - and how much I knew and how much I didn't. So inquiry for me is the way I get my children to move from knowing into understanding. There's two ways that I tend to frame my inquiries. The other way that I tend to frame my inquiries is through a provocative statement. I think the biggest thing in inquiry, as a teacher, is it's changed the way we plan. At the end of this, what is the understanding that we want our children to walk away with?
