Using SOLO (Room 5)

Inquiry Learning

Working with the SOLO rubric development group gave me a good insight and ownership of the changes.  I thought it was going to be really difficult to introduce the rubric to the children but by doing it at the appropriate stage it wasn’t such a major deal.  Quite a few children connected to it fairly easily and were able to place themselves where they thought they fitted.  I’m sure that putting the stages into child’s language definitely helped here and with each inquiry the children’s understanding of where they are and what they have to do to move to the next stage should improve.  I was pleasantly surprised to have some children working at the relational stage for understanding and look forward to see if this carries over in our next inquiry or if it is affected by the theme of the inquiry.
