Story Sharing

We connect through the stories we share.
Story Sharing: Approaching learning through narrative.
Personal narratives (stories) are central

Learning Maps

We picture our pathways of knowledge
Learning Maps: Explicitly mapping/visualizing processes.
Images or visuals are used to map out processes for learners to follow.

Non Verbal

We see, think, act, make and share without words.
Non-verbal: Applying intra-personal and kinaesthetic skills to thinking and learning.
Kinaesthetic, hands on, non-verbal learning is characteristic.

Symbols & Images

We keep and share knowledge with art and objects.
Symbols & Images: Using images and metaphors to understand concepts and content.
Symbol, image and metaphor are central to pedagogy.

Land Links

We work with lessons from land and nature.
Land Links: Place-based learning, linking content to local land and place. Ecological and place-based, drawn from the living landscape within a framework of profound ancestral and personal relationships with place.

Non-Linear

We put different ideas together and create new knowledge.
Non-linear: Producing innovations and understanding by thinking laterally.
Nonlinear ways of learning are complementary, not oppositional

Deconstruct/Reconstruct

We work from wholes to parts, watching and then doing.
Deconstruct/reconstruct: Modelling and scaffolding, working from wholes to parts, Begin with the whole structure, rather than a series of sequenced steps.
Holistic, global, scaffolded and independent learning orientations of students.

Community Links

We bring new knowledge home to help our mob.
Community Links: Centering local viewpoints, applying learning for community benefit.
