Intranet – Curriculum, Teaching and Learning Reflection: DO OUR PERSONAL BELIEFS & VALUES CORRELATE TO THE BELIEFS AND VALUES OF SALC?

 Assessment and reporting at St Andrews Lutheran College are based on the following fundamental beliefs:  1. Every student is able to learn  2. Individual progress of students should be celebrated  3. Students learn at different rates and in different ways

 Students feel valued, safe, supported and respected Therefore we will:  Develop positive relationships with students  Promote risk-taking among students and provide a classroom that allows students to grow and develop  Support the „whole ‟ child – spiritually, emotionally, physically and mentally  Listen to student ideas and opinions

Therefore we will:  Make the relevance and purpose of activities clear to students  Develop a classroom culture of questioning that extends critical thinking  Provide open ended tasks with multiple entry points  Plan for units of work and tasks to extend over a sustained period of time

Therefore we will:  Allow students to make choices in their learning  Base activities around student interests  Communicate positive expectations and confidence in the learners ‟ abilities  Encourage students to embrace challenges and inquire into topics of interest

Therefore we will:  Assess prior knowledge, monitor and record student learning  Plan activities that allow students to build on their prior knowledge  Plan activities and make connections based around life like contexts  Integrate across Key Learning areas where appropriate

Therefore we will:  Acknowledge and value individual learning styles  Effectively model enthusiasm for learning and scaffold how to learn  Expose students to a variety of teaching strategies  Provide a supportive environment where students can be risk takers  Provide developmentally appropriate learning activities  Acknowledge and celebrate success

Therefore we will:  Allow students to work in groups, pairs or individually  Develop a flexible classroom arrangement  Provide access to adequate resources  Cater for individual learning styles  Acknowledge that social and emotional well being influences learning

Therefore we will:  Encourage students to discuss ideas as they work  Plan for a range of sharing experiences  Provide models for effective reflection  Inform students of learning outcomes  Provide structures for descriptive feedback between students and teachers and students  Foster a culture of seeking and considering a range of viewpoints

Therefore we will:  Inform parents of year level programs and outcomes  Seek to involve parents in classroom activities  Respect parent knowledge as a learning resource  Link classroom learning with the home
