THERE’S NOTHING NEW UNDER THE SUN? Why Scrum? Is there anything else?

Significant learning takes place when the subject matter is perceived by the student as having relevance for his own purposes.

1

Teacher as a Facilitator

2

Agancy

The most socially useful learning in the modern world is the learning of the process of learning, a continuing openness to experience and incorporation into oneself of the process of change.3

Capability & Project Based Learning

Learning is facilitated when the student participates responsibly in the learning process. Independence, creativity, and self-reliance are all facilitated when self-criticism and self-evaluation are basic and evaluation by others is of secondary importance.

I can’t teach anybody anything, I can only provide an enviroiment in which people can learn.

4

Wholism

Self-initiated learning which involves the whole person of the learner—feelings as wells as intellect—is the most lasting and pervasive.

Carl Rogers FREEDOM TO LEARN (1969)


THERE’S NOTHING NEW UNDER THE SUN? Why Scrum? Is there anything else?

Significant learning takes place when the subject matter is perceived by the student as having relevance for his own purposes.

5

Metacognition

6

Safety

Much significant learning is acquired through doing.7

Capability & Project Based Learning

When threat to the self is low, experience can be perceived in differentiated fashion and learning can proceed.

The most socially useful learning in the modern world is the learning of the process of learning, a continuing openness to experience and incorporation into oneself of the process of change.

MODEL 1Make tea traditional way

Traditional transmission method where knowledge and activity is mostly teacher led.Purpose is closely connected to school curriculum. LFNPP

Teas of the world. Lesson objectives

To learn more about teas and the culture of tea To learn about how tea is made in different countries To produce a piece of factual writing that compares and contrasts types of tea.

Individual and pair work using materials provided. (no computer access)

KEY QUESTIONS . How did you feel?


MODEL 2Make tea Scrum way

Create product backlog

Create sprint plan

Carry out sprint 20 min sprint

Scenario: You have opened a tea house in a market town in the UK. As part of your sales drive and promotion campaign you want to get people more interested in tea making as a pursuit rather than the “bag in the cup” kind of instant drink it has become. Getting people interested in tea making will also help you to shift a lot of your products and world teas/ tea paraphanalia / books etc. You have decided to produce leaflets for your customers on the following teas. Green teaRussian Caravan teaMorrocan teaJapanese tea ceremonyChaiEnglish tea As a minimum the leaflets/information sheets should have: these features The history/origin of the specific tea/ceremony.Interesting facts of the “did you know” varietyA how to make it sectionPrice list and opening timesList of upcoming thematic events where your salon will feature the tea / ceremony


MODEL 2Make tea Scrum way

Create product backlog

Create sprint plan

Carry out sprint 20 min sprint

YOUR FIRST SPRINT IS 20 MINUTES LONG. Remember … Your scrum team has x members so you have roughly 20 minutes to burn up. Roughly because not all of it will be productive time.
