Conceptual inquiry is at the heart of our definition of high quality learning and teaching at the Anglo. Along with all the other ideas it shapes learning across school. It is also aligned with our commitment of being an IB school.
Our learners explore complex ideas and concepts throughout and across disciplines, connecting what they are learning with previous knowledge and interests. They are encouraged to ask questions, explore, experiment, reflect, solve problems and take risks. They develop approaches to learning and dispositions that will equip them with the necessary skills to continue learning independently beyond school. They transfer what they have learned to real life situations and contexts.
In order to support learners connecting factual, procedural and metacognitive knowledge our teachers plan and document learning using our adapted conceptual based inquiry cycle
In this perspective, conceptual understanding is viewed as a process as well as an outcome of learning
In addition, the IB has identified 6 strategies that promote the development of conceptual understanding. Our teachers use these strategies to design learning experiences for our students across the curriculum.
