Learning Principle 2: Dimensions of Learning
Learning encompasses creative, moral, social, experiential and entrepreneurial dimensions.
When unpacking this statement above you can think about your practise and question whether the learning you are facilitating encompasses the following aspects for your students.
Creative - developing new techniques.
Think about...How you are incorporating creative aspects, such as art and design, in your teaching.
Moral - The actions of yourself and others.
Think about...How you are including elements of Second Step.
Social - Consider what you fellow colleagues are providing.
Think about...How the children are working with their peers/friends around them.
Experiential - What's happening, with regard to learning, inside and outside of the classroom.
Think about...The number of different learning environments that you could utilise?
Entrepreneurial - turning experience into information.
Think about...Your students are learning through experiences everyday, how can you evidence this process?
It is with great certainty that you are providing these aspects in one form or another with your students, however it is always good to reflect and possibly further transform your teaching.
