CHALLANGE OF PRACTICE 2019 – 2021
If we develop a common approach to ‘close reading’ and build oral language development into daily rouines, we will increase the number of students reaching SEA and above in reading.
If we adopt a common approach to authentic problem solving and promote multiple ways of solving problems in mathmatics and numeracy, we will increase the number of students reaching SEA and above in numeracy.
If we align our Formative Assessment strategies with targeted writing imrovement practices and promote writing as a means to generate higher order thinking and transfer of learning, we will achieve a percentage grade band shift in SACE Stage 1 and 2 subjects.
