The three cornerstones of our approach to teaching and learning at Tallis are: Threshold Concepts, Powerful Knowledge and Habits of Mind. The new Tallis Habits Pedagogy Wheel is intended to provide colleagues with an aide memoire for implementing Habits-related strategies in the classroom. It will feature on the cover of staff planners from September 2016 and be displayed as a poster in curriculum work areas.
You can read more about the design of the wheel on the school website.
A major feature of the web based version of the resource is a detailed breakdown of each strategy with links to associated resources for further exploration. These are themed by Habit so, if you were particularly interested in developing students’ inquisitiveness, but were unsure which teaching strategies might be most appropriate, you can now check list of suggestions on the Wheel diagram and get a more detailed explanation of implementation strategies on the website.
