  1. Santa Maria College ‘Growing Tall Poppies in Science’ School-Community Partnerships Strengthening Teaching & Learning Dr Eroia Barone-Nugent

  2. Partnership between Santa Maria College and • ARC Centre of Excellence for Coherent X-Ray • Science (CXS) • Inaugural 2009 NAB Schools First State Winner Creating Relevant-Connected Science Experiences For Secondary StudentsAttracting and Retaining Students/Girls in the Physical Sciences Using the Interdisciplinary Nature of Science to Engage Students

  3. Contemporary LearningThrough Community Partnerships Is a process through which we can provide students learning opportunities - Embedded in the real-world Empower Responsible Problem solvers

  4. Inspiration For: Growing Tall Poppies Program • Moving away from excursion-type activities to promote learning ‘with’ and ‘from’ rather than ‘about’ • Educational Research • Declining numbers of girls studying science especially physics • Sciences in school are discrete disciplines • Understanding of sciences being integrated enables connection

  5. NAB Schools First State Impact Award-2009 • Film

  6. “Not just hands-on, but dealing with real questions e.g. wine industry & climate change”

  7. Sudoku Algorithm

  8. Students work with -The Biologists & Physicists Working Together Cutting Edge Technology

  9. Communication and Sharing: to Build Beyond the Classroom & School

  10. Keeping Inquiry Going

  11. Doing It For Teachers

  12. Summary: value of facing outward • Student Conference – share community • New Partners: • Australian Synchrotron • The University of Melbourne-Earth Sciences • Student benefit-increased numbers in physics 50% • Academic benefit-communication

  13. Growing Tall Poppies Student Conference- 2010 • Film

  14. Classic Pedagogy • Body of knowledge to transfer • The teacher decides which knowledge • The teacher decides what format • The teacher decides what outcomes • The teacher decides what assessment • The teacher decides level of achievement • Teacher decides range of T/L systems

  15. Classic Space & Time • The school house • Books reports assignments-endpoints • The school yard • The school room • The desk orientation • The ‘blackboard’ focus • The teacher student ratio • Length of lessons • Beginning and end of day

  16. Central Ideas For Students • Empower • Responsible • Connected • Thinking

  17. The changing world & the information revolution • Changed the classroom strategies • Focus remains predominantly within • Moving the focus to a whole world perspective is the challenge

  18. Growing Tall Poppies: authentic science experience for Year 10 students

  19. What is the Growing Tall Poppies program • What inspired it • How has it changed outcomes: for student, teachers and school

  20. Pedagogue and Pedagogy • Pedagogy The term generally refers to strategies of instruction, or a style of instruction. The teacher is central expert/facilitator of knowledge. The slave who …. ….lead the child to the world to learn ……… …. from the masters.
