TEACHING AND LEARNING. The faculty and administration agree that the College will continue to focus on the needs, abilities, and educational goals of students. The diversity of the College’s course offerings and of its students must lead the faculty to embrace a diversity of teaching methods ranging from the most traditional to the most innovative. Whatever the method, the outcome must be observable/measurable student learning.

TEACHING AND LEARNING. I will always actively supervise, or arrange for suitable adult supervision of pupils that I have directed or allowed to use the Internet. I will embed the school’s e-safety curriculum into my teaching, using agreed resources and materials. I will ensure I am aware of digital safety-guarding issues so they are appropriately embedded in my classroom practice. I will only use the Internet for professional purposes when pupils are present in an ICT suite, or a classroom with Internet access. Copyright I will not publish or distribute work that is protected by copyright. I will teach pupils to reference online resources when they use them in a report or publication. Data protection I will not give out or share personal addresses (including email), telephone / fax numbers of any adult or students working at the school. I will not take pupil data, photographs or video from the school premises without the full permission of the head teacher e.g. on a laptop, memory stick or any other removable media. I will ensure any confidential data that I wish to transport from one location to another is protected by encryption and that I follow school data security protocols when using any such data at any location. I will respect the privacy of other users’ data, and will never enter the file areas of other staff without their express permission. I understand that data protection policy requires that any information seen by me with regard to staff or pupil information, held within the school’s information management system, will be kept private and confidential, EXCEPT when it is deemed necessary that I am required by law to disclose such information to an appropriate authority. Home Learning protection I will use the collaborative year group inboxes to communicate and respond to pupils’ work. I will not communicate with pupils by personal emails. I Know I can contact the school ICT technician if unsure.

TEACHING AND LEARNING. The Association and the Committee share a common belief that the education of children in Smithfield is one that provides, to the greatest extent possible, access to regular education classes for all students. A full continuum of delivery/instructional models should be available to students with disabilities. School and district wide efforts to place students in the least restrictive environment, which is their most appropriate educational environment, must be evaluated carefully and regularly to ensure classroom compositions that facilitate maximum success of every child. The educational environment, including appropriate instructional materials and support services, must match the learning needs of all students. When the regular education classroom setting is the recommended placement for students with Individual Education Plans (IEPs), the following conditions must apply:
TEACHING AND LEARNING. In this section the University should refer to: its objectives and/or priorities for teaching and learning its strategies to ensure quality in teaching and learning UNIVERSITY ADMISSIONS TRANSPARENCY how the University selects students for offers without an ATAR score, as part of its admissions process what evaluation strategies are in place for ensuring that students admitted without an ATAR are likely to succeed in their studies. UNIVERSITY RETENTION STRATEGIES strategies to reduce the proportion of students that do not complete their course (including for students from regional and remote areas) evaluation of these strategies, including follow-up with students who do not continue with their studies to better understand the reasons for this decision. As outlined in our new Strategic Plan, our main Teaching and Learning objective is to significantly improve the quality and flexibility of our qualifications through changes to our course architecture and through extending our online offering to meet market demand. To do this, we are: streamlining the course and subject portfolio with current and likely future student demand; simplifying our course architecture to reduce the burden of administration for our staff and increase flexibility and choice for our students; increasing the use of online and mixed modes of delivery and support (through our Online Only, StudyFlex and Regional Connect programs); ensuring our staff have the capabilities and resources they need to develop quality online courses and measure student experience and satisfaction to drive continuous improvement; expanding our range of short courses (award and non-award) to support those seeking to retrain and upskill, with bundling options that encourage lifelong engagement; co-designing our curriculum in partnership with industry and alumni and include industry-based experiences across all courses; and continuing our efforts to decolonise the curriculum and support embedding of indigenous knowledge and perspectives across our courses Clever Learning The actions which will help the University reach these goals are set out in detail in the Learning and Teaching Plan 2018-2022, and its related Student Success and Retention Plan and are being further advanced through strategic initiatives under Clever Learning -our strategic educational transformational program. Started in late 2019, the three-year program is our ambitious plan to deliver educational transformation across our course portfolio and...
TEACHING AND LEARNING. PLC Definition: PLC Time/Work will focus on one or more of the following questions: What should students know and understand? How will we know they have learned it? How will we respond if they haven’t? How will we respond when they have learned it?
