Curriculum Implementation
Our faculty uses current research to teach a curriculum that:
- Uses enquiry questions to frame student learning
- Identifies powerful knowledge and builds this knowledge sequentially with careful consideration for where this knowledge leads next
- Provides regular opportunities for review of powerful knowledge
- Incorporates regular low stakes formative assessment strategies to deliver whole class and individual feedback
- Identifies powerful language and provides regular opportunities to apply this language to new contexts
- Explicitly links powerful knowledge and language to other academic disciplines and the wider world
- Develops key disciplinary skills to allow students to become successful in each subject area
