OUR TEACHING LEARNING APPROACH
To ensure students are engaged and involved in their learning, we personalize learning in the following ways:
- Carefully planned curriculum based on each individual child’s needs which includes:
- Emphasis on prior knowledge
- Stress on individual interests
- Focus on individual learning styles
- Identifying the abilities and skills of students helps them identify their future learning goals
- Students and teachers constructing learning pathways together based on two‐way feedback conversations.
- Experiential learning as a way of life is not environment or curriculum specific
- Teachers and students hold feedback conversations to discuss data and developmental needs and together they set goals. They discuss ways to reach those goals and the types of evidence that the students will need to produce.
- Scope and sequence need to be flexible
- Parents can track the progress of their wards via the Parents Portals.
- Student’s need to be able to articulate their learning in conferences including video conferences.
- Teachers get to know students as “people” not just “students” and what their interests are.
- Children have choice in terms of regulating behavior, what/how to learn and how to present their learning.

OUR PEDAGOGICAL VISION
We personalize our students’ learning to ensure that each student is met at their point of need and actively engaged in co‐constructing their individual learning pathway. We pride ourselves on knowing our students as individuals and as learners. We use our knowledge of individual students’ interests and their evidence of learning to create relevant and meaning learning engagements.
Our students receive ongoing, specific and meaningful feedback about their progress. They are self‐reflective and participate in regular one‐on–one conferencing with their teachers to discuss, refine and extend their learning goals. Teachers facilitating students’ understanding of curriculum expectations by using whole school documentation that explains curriculum standards in language that can be easily understood by our students.
