CoL PLG - 30th May

I enjoyed talking with my colleagues at today's CoL PLG.

We have a cluster Teacher Only Day coming up tomorrow, and it will be interesting to see what insights I glean about the use of AI in education. I am also presenting a Create workshop and look forward to Toreka Tele'a's presentation on using Craiyon as a means to enrich setting descriptions in Writing.

Today, we shared about our research and hypothesises in groups. There was a lot of agreement as to the challenges we face and the overarching themes of our goals. So much keeps coming back to vocabulary enrichment to aid understanding and engagement. 

Fiona talked to us about the Causal Chain and gave us this task for our blog post:

"Causal Chain - Why is thinking about a causal chain important before you design your intervention? The purpose is to tighten up your intervention and to understand more deeply what you did that resulted in a shift in student achievement."

I like the template that was linked into our Slide Deck. An example of a Causal Chain from Karen. I am going to make my own based on her template structure as a way of organising my thoughts more clearly.

Here is what Karen's looks like (stay tuned for mine on my next blog post):
