Co-construction is an active learning experience where we share, design and build learning together - a partnership between students, teachers and parents.

We need to ...

Know our students                                                   

• Value and use prior knowledge as a starting point for new learning
• Identify passions and use them to inspire learning
• Know how individuals learn best – cater for a variety of learning styles
• Know personalities and student worlds

Encourage and act on student voice

• Ensure students have a genuine say in their learning:
  what they learn,  how they learn and how they present their learning                   

Practise co-operative learning (share, design and build learning together)

• Use a range of skills and strategies to work co-operatively and in groups
• Ensure teachers, students and parents become genuine partners in learning
• Encourage students and teachers to share and reflect on the learning process

Ensure student success

• Set high expectations for every student
• Provide direct instruction and modelling as a framework for learning
• Focus on ‘where to next’ and ‘how to get there’
