Provocations at OrmPS

This is my first year thinking about and teaching provocations in the classroom. Provocations are discussions, ideas and activities that are thought provoking around interests, questions and creativity. Here at Ormiston Primary, as learning coaches, we are to consider our learning habitat as a fifth learning coach. As mentioned in our meeting, a well designed and resourced learning space enables provocation creation.

As a team we are now in the process of planning and setting up provocations within our habitat to best suit our learners around our four vision principles: Curious, Capable, Connected and Collaborative. Our provocations are set up first thing in the morning when the learners come in and will hopefully spark curiosity before, during or after a deliberate act of teaching anytime.

Here are some of what the learners did this morning for provocations.

  3. Hi Priscilla,
    It would be great to read more about your learning around provocations and how you can infuse elements of play based pedagogy into your teaching at OrmPs as a collaborative educator. Provocations are an essential part of developing 'Adaptive Expertise' in our learners.
    Cheers,
    Di

    PS: Please consider this for future posts: if you are tagging a post to a PCT or PST, pause and think, have you explained why/how it relates? If you haven't done this deliberately, with critical reflection, it may not qualify as evidence towards it. So consider what information could you include to help the reader make a connection to each PST? You may want to go back to all your posts and label them with PSTs as appropriate as this is one of the sole purposes for our blogs:)
