We have created a Teacher Learning Community where we share our views, experience and teaching techniques once a month. We have divided all the teachers of three schools in 11 groups. The aim of this programme is to create a congenial working environment among the colleagues as well as to ensure a same standard of teaching and learning approach in the whole school.

There will be nine TLC workshops initially and the learning intentions are as follows:

  Share successes and failures, and support each other
 Establish effective ways of working collaboratively
 Understand how to incorporate learning intention into lessons and why this is important
 Improve classroom questioning and discussion
 Involve all students in lessons
 Mark less whilst giving students more responsibility
 Keep records of students’ progress that help teaching and learning
 Activate students as instructional resources for one another
 Use hinge-point questions to find out what students know at some point in a lesson
 Make some formative use of summative tests
 Activate students as owners of their own learning
 Review our work together as a TLC group this year and how it has helped student learning.
