Teaching & Learning Strategies
There are range of strategies your teacher may use to help develop your knowledge, understanding and skills.
Core strategies include use of 'Learning Intentions', 'Success Criteria', 'Effective Questioning' and use of 'Formative Feedback / Assessment'. An important approach for 2021-2022 is a focus on giving you time to reflect on your learning and on feedback from your teacher.
