Each Developmental Hub has bespoke reflection question that are relevant to that age group. At GVL we don't have year groups or academic years. We move when we are ready, after discussion at Learning Huddles.

Q6. At GVL we are a learner-led, adult-supported learning community. Our senior crew are currently designing the kitchen for their newly renovated room. They have also decided what they will study when each day. Within boundaries. It's their learning, not ours. #blueskyAU @eduskyauteam.bsky.social

Q5. Let's step away from Learning Conversations into Learner Agency. At GVL All young people choose learning experiences. Our 4 Hubs all have learner agency front and foremost in their design. #blueskyau @eduskyauteam.bsky.social

Q4. After your Learning Conversation, how does the conversation continue? How do we keep the goals and focus front and foremost in that child learning? #blueskyAU @eduskyauteam.bsky.social #taketwo #hashtagregret

Q3. Are your conversations just that, or do you retain the information for ongoing use. We grab info in a gentle and seamless way, harvesting the data after to create Learner Profiles. #EduSkyAU @eduskyauteam.bsky.social

Our Learning Huddles occur at the mid-point and end-point of a Project. This leads to great conversation points.

Q2. AT GVL our Learning Huddle Conversations are scheduled for 30 mins. We take one week to work our way through the community. We run these from 8 am to 5 pm online, and face-to-face. How about you. #EduSkyAU @eduskyauteam.bsky.social
