Write a paragraph or two explaining how your school approaches learning in the 21st Century.... something like this:
Striving for excellence in teaching and learning with the aim of ensuring maximum achievement levels for all students is a key goal.
At Our School we believe that all children have the right and ability to learn; we have high expectations of every student. Each child is an individual with differing needs, talents and abilities. Children learn at different rates and in different ways and we acknowledge this by providing a range of activities and settings for learning. On-going assessment informs the planning of programmes.
Students need to know what they are learning, why they are learning it and what they need to learn next. Our focus is on ensuring students understand the process of learning, how knowledge is created and what their role is in creating it.
A variety of effective teaching strategies and approaches are used to achieve success in learning. These include: an inquiry based approach, problem solving, authentic learning experiences that relate to real life contexts, co-operative learning, ability based individualised and group learning, interactive and ‘hands on’ experiences, use of the environment and peer tutoring. We believe it is our responsibility to offer children the best and most effective strategies to suit their learning needs. It is our aim to establish a life-long love of learning that will set all children up for success.
