A free classroom-ready introduction to The Irwin System™.
The Teacher Starter Pack helps teachers trial What Else Could Be Going On? in one short classroom discussion.
The pack introduces a seven-move reasoning pathway that helps learners notice carefully, separate observation from explanation, form an initial idea, consider alternative explanations, look for clues, check confidence, reflect on learning, and notice again with more clarity.
It is designed for teachers who want to make student thinking more visible without adding a new programme, test, or extra curriculum content.
Students are supported to ask:
What did I notice?
What do I think is happening?
What else could be going on?
What clues do I have?
How sure am I?
What have I learned?
What can I now see differently?
Included:
• Framework Overview
• Quick Start Guide
• Seven-Move Reasoning Pathway
• Sample Classroom Posters
• 20-Minute Trial Activity
• Student Thinking Sheet
• Teacher Observation Notes
• Founding Teacher Feedback Form
• Next Steps for classroom, school, pilot, or PLD use
Designed for Years 3–8.
Use it with an image, object, text, classroom event, investigation, or real-world situation where more than one explanation may be possible.
The aim is simple:
to make reasoning more visible, more discussable, and more teachable.
