Students should have the opportunity to learn about, with and through technology and use it as a tool for varied communication

Students need to be supported as they develop reflection skills in which they are self-analytical and self-critical, so that they take ownership of their learning, and drive the inquiry based process.  The ATL"s are central in this process because it helps to provide children with the language to articulate their processes.

Project-based teaching and learning

# data[].attributes.body
Given that most parents are community leaders, an effort should be made to create a database of their backgrounds then find strategic ways to include them.(field trips/guest speakers/internships). This is important given how many of our students will follow in their families footsteps.

We need to further develop our understanding and exploration of STEAM and how it fits into pedagogy

Positive approaches and focus on actions/choices

# data[].attributes.subject
Positive approaches and focus on actions/choices

# data[].attributes.body
Positive approaches should be taken to classroom management, such as praising students for making positive choices and taking positive action within their learning.
