‘Understand, Know, Do’ is a fundamental part of Sylvia Park School’s inquiry process. In this podcast, principal Barbara Ala’alatoa talks about how the framework helps to create meaningful learning opportunities.
“Any inquiry that is absent of knowledge – the ‘know’ – runs the risk of being fluff, and any inquiry that is absent of the big and enduring and connecting ideas – the ‘understand’ – runs the risk of being irrelevant to our learners in the here and now. Any inquiry that is absent of the practices that bring rigour to learning – the ‘do’ part – runs the risk of not motivating, challenging and engaging our learners, let alone inspiring them to act on what they've learned. When we deliver equally on these, our students will be informed. They will be active and passionate learners who will go on to make a difference in the world.”
