Friday Reflection with MYSY learning community.
In Te Karaka Area School we complete each day with reflections on learning. We often have a prompt statement linking to our TKAS Learning muscles or concepts based on Dwecks Growth Mindset. This practice has resulted in many wonderful and revealing sharings between all our learner community members. I feel its necessary to point out that our MYSY learning community is made up of learners from Yr6 to Yr13. Therefore the sharing is an amazing array of insights that often transcend age barriers.
Yesterday I used this...
The reflection question is: How does the learning you gained this week relate to this picture?
The reflections are recorded individually on devices and after that our sharing begins. The statements shared included these learner responses;
- Walkway to success
- Freedom
- Path to growth
- Arotahi
- Pathway through the distractions
- The right path may be bumpy
- Appreciate the now
- Pathway towards my dream
- Achievement
A range of Learners shared many personal insights with us. It reminded me of my own ponderings while tramping, that often lead me in my own life. Thats when i realised i was getting goosebumps..
This was an inspiring reflection for me because if this is how our learners are thinking when they see a picture like this, then I feel that together we are enabling our community to experience a life where learning is in everything we do and all that is around us. This to me is connecting very closely with the purpose of education.
Kia kaha koutou.
