Exemplars (from the NaCCA curriculum)

Managing Talk for Learning: In pairs, learners think and share views on what they understand by energy management. In moderated discussions, learners discuss the importance of energy management in facilities as well as the benefits of developing a plan for it.
Initiating Talk for Learning: Through questions and answers, learners explain the key components of an energy management plan and the processes involved in developing a plan for a facility. In small groups, guide learners to sketch energy management plans with the aid of a sample. Groups share their sketches with the whole class for comments and additions. Encourage them to share views in a respectful manner and tolerate the opinions of others.
