Learning Skills Development - Mapping

Learning Skills Development - Mapping

Please note that all participants must wear appropriate clothing, shoes that are securely fastened, no exposed jewelry and long hair must be tied back.
 

Possible Framing Questions:

On which learning skills are we focussing? What can we do to continue developing these skills and contribute to the success of the group?

How can we apply the learning skills we developed at school?

How can strengthening our learning skills help us and how can we apply them at school and other communities?

 

Learning Goal

If students and teachers can intentionally develop the learning skills and character traits needed to develop a learning community, then they will understand how to apply them here at Forest Valley, back at school and in the rest of their lives.


The staff member working with your class will contact you before your trip and confirm the programming options with you based on several factors including the needs of your class. This program may include mapping or another group collaborative project.

Possible Sequence of the Day:

The framing question focuses on the learning of the day. The day starts with an engagement activity to assess understanding, engage the students, and introduce the framing question. The morning is spent doing investigations, exploring, and conducting hands-on inquiry regarding collaborative activities.

Note: It is important to remember that the focus of the day is not to play cooperative games but rather bring attention to the TDSB learning skills and character traits, their importance and how we can apply them back at school using cooperative activities.
