      <image:caption>“I was shocked by what learner voice showed us in Scanning...shocked at what some students said. I thought I knew them and that they knew me. "I was a little shocked with what learners said, it made me take a second take about how I am working with the students, presenting myself. It made me step back and check my assumptions.” “The learners’ responses floored me. I was surprised at how they saw themselves and how they saw learning”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>"I see it as true collaboration which is not what I have experienced in the past". "Across-school team building and networking has been enabled. I wouldn’t have worked with some people if this wasn’t happening. It has been powerful to come at the same problem from different directions. This gives you a sense of different peoples realities in a school (we have different learning environments and different things to offer)".</image:caption>

      <image:caption>"Challenging the assumptions that I had was confronting but not scary, being in the little group helped to not make it scary - the fact that I wasn’t just one person doing it, there were people around me who were also delving deep. It was good to change the way I looked at what I was doing." "The '5 whys' and the hunch phase was a real turning point for me."</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Story Hui and The Spiral of Inquiry</image:title>
      <image:caption>"A couple of students commented that they thought I didn’t care about them or listen to them - so I tried to make those things more explicit. The other thing that came out, that I was teaching my subject but not making links to the real world - when i asked them what links they saw, several of them said none. So for the rest of the year I tried to link things to how they connect to the real world." “So, now I want to start next year on the ground running, the first 2-3 lessons we will look at growth mindset, getting the kids set up, getting to know the students better and setting goals. I want to inspire the students rather than making them think they have to do this. Getting growth mindset resources, and then work with the students for the first initial time, so it will be really interesting when I do my first lot of scanning to see what the difference is in their responses.” "This process has given me confidence and choices about what to do for learners."</image:caption>
