Teaching & Learning and Inclusion

High impact Teaching Practices

On Tuesday, we had Toni Hatten-Roberts from COGLearn come to our school for the day to lead professional development with our staff. 

She modelled Daily Review in 5 Maroon, 3 Blue, 2 Maroon and Kindergarten Blue for a number of staff across the school. Her feedback about our implementation of Daily Review was very positive. We then had the opportunity to discuss specific aspects of our implementation of Daily Review that are strengths and some further opportunities for us to work on.

She introduced TAPPLE to us. TAPPLE is a strategy for teachers to use in the classroom that checks for student understanding about concepts being taught. Checking for understanding is one of the most important things a teacher can do to ensure student achievement and growth.

The staff at St John's are so grateful to have so many wonderful learning opportunities that will continue to have impact on student achievement.
