The teacher as learners is an important part of our daily life in the Primary School. Working groups have been established in different curriculum and social areas to research and collect data on best practice for the primary school to keep developing and growing in our understanding of what is best for our students. This research and development is carried out after school throughout the year. There are five working groups right now, the Spirit Group - working on developing school-wide positive spirit. The Mathematics Group is focusing on developing further the inquiry methodology in the teaching and learning programme. The Language Group is addressing the way forward in spelling and phonics. The Inquiry & Learning Group is investigating visible thinking strategies, the Reggio Emila approach, play based learning, and inquiry. The Assessment Group is focusing on further developing our digital portfolios. The teachers lead these groups themselves and seek out professional development, experts in the field as well as other schools in Singapore to further their research. In this way, the students benefit from the very best.
Have a great weekend.
