Kinosayo's Inquiry Pillars
Supporting student agency
- Students are active and engaged participants in their learning journey
- Learning happens with students, not to students.
Active learning
- Active Learning puts the students and the way they create connections and meaning at the forefront.
- Opportunities are carefully curated and are intentionally designed with the end in mind
Illuminating thinking
- Students will create connection between learning and aligning with conceptual understanding of curriculum by making thinking visible. This requires students to think of all areas of their learning, for example, self-reflection, finding solutions, designing, producing and collaborating.
Being intentional
- Staff are consistently creating learning opportunities that combine sound assessment, deep knowledge of curriculum, and the inquiry process. Experiences for students are intentional and connected to other learnings.
- Students are creating opportunities for collaborative and independent engagement, as well as a deep connection to their learning, especially as they grow and develop through their educational journey.
