Concerns - Covering the syllabus
Working with students' ideas, learning from each other

- Knowledge Society - where knowledge is an important resource and product
*imperatives for organisations (Innovate or Die!, invent, design, problem solve, create new knowledge), whole society, students and teachers (help students see themselves as part of a worldwide)
First Imperative: Understand what you learn
- knowledge without understanding is declining in value
- learning understanding is a way to defeat knowledge obsolescence
- a basis for transfer and for creative theft
2nd Imperative: Take Risks with Ideas
- well functioning knowledge society all ideas are subject to improvement or replacement by a better idea, so people should not be afraid to share ideas
- delay introducing authoritative source until students have had a chance to form their own ideas, theories
3rd Imperative: Improve your Ideas
- no finality in theory or design
4th Imperative: Make Complexity a Friend
- major real-life problems are almost always to complex for us to take adequate account of all the important variables
- collaboration can help to handle complexity
- list factors, things that need to be taken into account use of graphic organisers, summarise progress and difficulties, discuss various over-simplified ideas and their strengths and weaknesses
5th Imperative: Join People who will Help you Think
- successful solitary thinkers are rare, creative thinking needs a support group
- show the value of thinker help other thinkers
- help students take a higher level responsibilities for goals, strategies, assessment of progress, problem analysis
- pay close attention to students' ideas and give them a place in the curriculum
- be part of the KM effort, not just the guide at the side
- let the student in on the secret, such as what the MOE expects of them
- maintain a spirit of civility and good humour
Progression of KB - (a) Year 1—fixed small-groups; (b) Year 2—interacting small-groups working together
throughout their knowledge work; and (c) Year 3—opportunistic-collaboration, with small
teams forming and disbanding under the volition of community members, based on emergent
goals that arose as they addressed their shared, top-level goal of refining their knowledge
