A huge focus this for the year will be a combination of
- constructivist teaching, where learners are actively involved in knowledge construction using language in abundance,
- the use of subject-specific literacy strategies
- the competent use of teaching and learning strategies
- a clear understanding of achievement criteria so that learner confidence can soar, thereby raising academic achievement.
