Innovating Classrooms

Jen & Louise make it back for one last episode this year to chat about their main reflections of another year working together. Almost holidays! Yay! Thank you to all our listeners and we will be back in early Feb. 

Jen & Louise talk to Jesse about her implementation of the model in a different context. Jesse works at a different Perth school and after attending a professional learning with us took ideas back to her school. In this episode she reflects on that experience and how it has impacted her own practice and her students.

Jen & Louise are joined by Travis to discuss the types of conversations we get to have with our students - our favourite thing about our model!

Jen & Louise discuss our model in a holistic way to mark a year of podcasting, talking, sharing and implementing our model. Yay!

Jen & Louise discuss how they approach building learning habits with their students. These vital habits, and the confidence to experiment, adapt, practise and refine how they best learn, will be with them for life.

Jen & Louise discuss what being a learner means to them, including how they see their learners in their classroom.

Jen & Louise explore what it means to be a teacher or educator in our model, what mindset is needed and how we've changed our thinking about what we do as we've implemented and continue to implement innovation in our classrooms.

Jen & Louise chat with Alex Myer about her use of PBL in teaching digital technologies and learn something new! 

We are so excited to have finally welcomed Alex onto the podcast (she is the technical supervisor we mention at the end of every episode!).

PS. Our holidays start at the end of this week so we will take a break until 10 October - see you then!

Jen and Louise discuss what it has been like to implement the mastery aspect of the model, including how we do it, what it means and the impact it has had on us and our students.

Jen & Louise attempt to record an episode about how we approach and journey through change and end up just waxing lyrical about how much we love teaching in our model! Enjoy :)
