New Learning

New Learning asks you to:

  • Acquire new knowledge

  • Develop new skills that will lead to new actions.

Read about the new learning phase of inquiry here: Spiral of Inquiry (Timperley, Kaser & Halbert 2014)

To access inquiry questions that relate to new learning go here: New Learning Phase Questions.

What new learning is . . .

  • Motivated by and connected to changing the learning experience of learners

  • Directly linked to the focus identified in the earlier phase of the spiral

  • About understanding why new ways of doing things are better than previous practices

  • Sustained and supported over time

What new learning is not . . .

  • About what someone else thinks would be useful - readily available

  • Disconnected from the context

  • Just about a set of strategies, without deeper understanding of the purpose

  • Short term or a quick fix
