2. Detail

During this phase, students look for the elements that contribute to the problem or question.  This gives students the opportunity to unearth a lot of key background information, skills or processes that students already possess.

3. Discovery

Discovery is all about active research and intentional teaching.  In this step, students research current solutions, as well as what isn’t working, based on the solutions that already exist.  The teacher uses this stage both to analyse the gaps students may have in a skill or process and to teach those skills or processes explicitly.

4. Application

This is where the fun and creativity happen!  After students have investigated a problem or question and analysed current solutions, they can begin to create their own solution to the problem.  This is where they use the skills, processes and knowledge that were taught in the Discovery stage, and put them to work.

5. Presentation

Once students have created their solution or composition, it’s time to share it.  The work is presented for feedback and as a way for students to express their ideas. This is also an important opportunity for the teacher to give feedback and help students learn how to give and receive input.

6. Reflection

This step closes the loop.  Students have a chance to reflect on the feedback and on their own process and skills.  Based on that reflection, students are able to revise their work as needed and to produce an even better solution.

Our qualified teachers are highly skilled in working with young learners and encouraging curiosity and investigation during task-based sessions. The aim of our approach is to encourage fun, engagement, participation and independent learning.
