Teacher professional learning
The past fortnight has seen many wonderful opportunities for teacher learning. Teachers met for stage data talks where student individual literacy and numeracy was data analysed and short term learning goals were developed for all children. Our teachers also participated in a curriculum monitoring session where teaching and learning programs were rigorously analysed to ensure full implementation of all aspects of the NSW curriculum. This week, our Early Stage 1 and Stage 1 teachers are attending a whole day workshop to further develop their skills in teaching writing. This workshop is being facilitated by literacy guru, Mrs Jann Farner-Hayley. Mrs Heritage and Miss Horner also attended a leadership conference where the speaker was leading educator, Dr Anthony Muhammad. Mrs Greer also attended learning to assist us in better supporting children learning AUSLAN. A busy time for the staff of Wollongong West Public School!
