Have just come back from a four day Langford conference on Quality Learning in Warners Bay. It would have to rate as one of my top 10 ever conferences. I now have a clear idea of what to do for my Action Reseach Project.
Using his PDSA model along with the appropriate tools for each step of the process and a capacity matrix for each student, I hope to be able to lift the intellectual quality and increase skill level of the 9/10 science classes as they work their way through the 2008 library research projects.
i also plan to implement some of the tools in all of my classes. This is really exciting stuff.
If anyone is interested in this, check out the following link www.qla.com.au
All the tools for data collection are an integral part of the PDSA process.
