Module 2: Enabling students to take their future in their hands

WEBINAR: Lucy Griffiths, Island Friends: Engaging the Youngest Learners

Title: Island Friends: Engaging the Youngest Learners with Entrepreneurship
Date: Wednesday, 8 March 2017
Time: 17:00 CET
Speaker: Lucy Griffiths, Co-creator of Island Friends and the Enterprise Eggs®.

the ‘Enterprise Eggs®’ are seven key elements of an enterprising mind-set that are suitable for children in their early years.

Reflection on the webinar:

Based on this reference framework of the Enterprise Eggs, we could develop a rubric for the co-, peer- and self-assessment of entrepreneurial skills of our pupils. (1st stage of secondary studies, lower secondary school 12 tot 14 years)

2.1 Look(ing) into the future

INNOVATION STARTS WITH A VISION

Thinking in a visionary way is 'foresight' thinking. Not only spend time on 'backsight' and 'insight' thinking!

Provoke pupils being curious about the future. Ask clear and simple questions in order to develop students' strategic thinking (= foresight thinking!)

Imagine that ...
How does it work?
What are the steps to be taken in order to achieve this?
What if ...?

Make pupils devise LEARNER FOLDERS. (learning diaries)

Difference 'spotting opportunities' (1) and 'having a vision' (2)

Problem = mobility & access with wheelchair (1) in school (2) in town: neighbourhood without architectural barriers

Students imagining their dreamjobs. I wrote in the Padlet

2.2 Seeing the value of ideas

How would you introduce entrepreneurial learning in your classroom? In the Padlet I added

Entrepreneurship is about valuing ideas

The four colors and questions used to make students reflect on their ideas, made me think about the 6 Thinking Hats of De Bono

2.3 Ethical and sustainable thinking

Ethical dilemmas for classroom discussion: interesting website which gives additional materials to teachers to introduce the dilemmas in the classroom
Supporting ethical and sustainable reflection = putting the right questions
A great idea I found in the Padlet about mindmapping

Can you think of ethical questions/doubts that you can use in the classroom with your students, similar to the real life dilemmas? I answered in the Padlet

In the quiz I had difficulties in seeing the difference between vision and spotting opportunities.
