Deep Dive: Have you got S.O.L.E?

What is a Self-Organised Learning Environment? How has this pedagogical approach helped with teacher and student engagement? And is there a place for curiosity in our classrooms? And if so, how can this be achieved using SOLE a session? Our guests this week, Yvette and Kerrie are both experienced teachers who work in a primary school setting.  They will discuss their personal journey's into how using Self Organised Learning Environments in a classroom as a pedagogical approach has transformed their teaching and student engagement.  This approach was developed by 2022 Brock Prize winner Sugata Mitra, who is probably best known in the education community for developing the concept of self-organised learning environments following his ‘Hole in the Wall’ experiments in 1999, where he placed a computer in the wall of an Indian slum and observed that given the right circumstances, children could teach each other almost anything. Since that time, SOLE has become a part of mainstream education worldwide, increasing opportunities for thousands of people.  Yvette and Kerrie will also share with you, practical tips you can use in your classrooms to enhance student engagement and outcomes when using SOLE with students.
