The language arts teachers at Ogden Middle School reflected on their experience guiding students through a DIG. We brought them together for a session to learn about their surprises and delights from this experience and to hear about the wondering they now have.

Right before Woodcrest State College headed into their summer break, we sat down with teachers and administrators from their primary school to listen to what they learned through their experiments of bringing the DIG framework into their classrooms.

Wow, Digging with Preps, who would have thought that is possible? But then again, is that not the essence of a DiG; to shift our thinking, to discover outcomes we never deemed possible? At least that was what a DiG meant to me.

It's not enough that we have an audacious aspiration. We have to have the courage to continually walk into the unknown, seeking surprise, hoping for moments of magic – those brilliant, joyful experiences that we call eureka moments.

Such was the motivation for an experiment that we did last month in Oregon City.

The primary school at Woodcrest State College in Queensland shared what was happening with their first-grade students through to their 6th graders as the DIG framework was introduced in different curriculum areas.

In Pivoting Toward Cultural Transformation, an article from Penny Couch, principal of Woodcrest State College Primary School, she explores how the DIG framework and the agile culture are helping her school empower students as inspired learners.
