“The purpose of staff development is not just to implement isolated instructional innovations; its central purpose is to build strong collaborative work cultures that will develop the long-term capacity for change.”

(Michael Fullan, 2009)

Another key learning programme that the school embarked on in 2020 was in the area of e-Pedagogy.

The Professional Learning Teams (PLT) were called Student Learning Space (SLS) PLTs. The focus was on levelling up the teachers’ capacity to design ICT-enabled learning experiences to enable active learning.

Quotes from participants:

“The time, space and the expertise provided the PLTs opportunities to meet to design lessons in SLS.”

“The PD model, “Learn by Doing” considered learners’ needs, the intended outcomes and the evidences of learning.”
