Lynfield College
Year 9 Innovative Learning Class
Course Description
Teacher in Charge: Ms S. Hunt, Ms M. Shahsavar.
The Innovative Learning Programme replaces the core subjects in your timetable: English, Science, Technology, Social Studies, Maths, Health and Physical Education. Students will be able to choose Arts and Languages courses.
In 9IL, students learn in an integrated programme. Teams of teachers will work together to design learning which crosses boundaries. It could be using the knowledge of science, maths, and technology to design better bridges, or learning how to code a web-based Choose Your Own Adventure story.
As part of the learning, students will develop their abilities to be creative, to think critically, to communicate, and to collaborate. In short, to have the skills to be successful after leaving school and as a valued member of society.
Depending on numbers, the programme will be run as a large class of approximately 50 students with two teachers at any one time or as single classes where teachers plan together. The class moves between flexible learning spaces including breakout rooms for group and independent learning.
Over a two year programme, students will have the opportunity to experience the full range of the Technology curriculum.
