Thank you for sharing this, Alinda.
To clarify: your K-12 is the same as American K-12, except that you use Years rather than Grades?
If so, then American and Australian K-12 would be the same as our Reception-Year 13.
This would then also mean that our Year 6 inquiry – Year 6 (Grade 5) Interdisciplinary Signature Work Inquiry @ Blanchelande College – might be of interest if you have not already seen it. This is our most ambitious inquiry yet, and we have much to reflect on as the first iteration draws to a close. Your thoughts on this inquiry would be most welcome. Please do share your Year 5 (US Grade 5 / UK Year 6) inquiry unit in more detail in Inquiry and resource design if time permits. We will also be very interested in your progress with Year 9 (US Grade 9 / UK Year 10), because our opportunities in UK Years 10 & 11 are limited due to pressures of external exams in UK Year 11.
I know that Jenny has more that she will contribute to this discussion, as do I, and we will do so as soon as possible.
