This week’s University of Waikato Colloquium (Friday 1st June) may be of interest.
Viv is presenting on research methods developed during research in classrooms using Mantle of the Expert. In particular, the presentation looks at the use of researcher-in-role….(a bit like teacher in role, but for the purposes of gathering data!)
Details are shown on the screen shot below – or go to university website for more…
All welcome.

Thanks to Gaenor Stoate for drawing this article to our attention. It will be of particular interest to secondary English and drama teachers. A lovely account of MOTE used to engage and empower unwilling students at a more senior level.
Check out the student’s incredibly insightful comments on why they prefer working in role…
Check out also the creative ideas for letting them do their exams in role…
Most of all, check out what these teachers managed to achieve with a bunch of students who (according to their own teachers) were ‘thugs’ and would never ‘get it’.
Received this email from Alex at Puketaha school today… Watch out for MOTE on TV!
Just to let you know that a kid’s show called Mishmash came into Puketaha and filmed our class starting a MOTE last week. It screens this Thursday (10th May) on Freeview channel 30 at 7.30am, 9.30am and 2pm if you want to watch. Not sure how it will look as they had to cut 1 hour 30 mins down to 12 mins.
