ErlyBirds facilitates Professional Learning Communities (PLCs/ teacher-teams) to look at existing curriculum-planning with a fresh perspective in order to purposely incorporate creative and critical thinking activities and assessments into current planning, to better incorporate 21st Century thinking skills.
A collaborative debate with all stakeholders involved in teaching ONE SUBJECT is arranged e.g ‘The Sciences’ from Gr4 to Gr7, Social Studies (history & geography) and Natural Science (science and biology). Teachers collaborate as a school-team to create a personalised curriculum that embraces creative problem-solving tools to specifically include teaching for practical and creative intelligence, an essential prerequisite of CAPS.
Level one, THE BIG PICTURE workshops are followed by grade and subject-specific curriculum planning, e.g. developing a tailor-made Gr.7 term one, history plan, incorporating creative and critical skills to stimulate creative and practical intelligence in all pupils. See LEVEL 2 IN THE CLASSROOM.
