Staff Meeting – Sprints
In our team, we have been focusing on St Joseph's School Pedagogy and Practice, particularly through the lens of the Science of Learning.
Our team consists of myself, Tiana, Flerinda, Robin, and Jenni. Jenni and I share a similar goal for this sprint, as we are both working with the junior classes—I'm teaching Year 1 and Jenni is with Year 2. Likewise, Flerinda and Tiana have been collaborating closely on their goals.
During our team meetings, Jenni and I have reflected on the need to make our learning intentions more explicit for our students. We believe it’s important that children clearly understand what they are expected to learn in each lesson. We’ve also discussed the importance of making prior learning more accessible so students can independently refer back to it for support.
To achieve this, we will begin implementing anchor charts, modelling books, classroom displays, and structured follow-up learning tasks. This approach will be a key focus starting in Week 5 of Term 2.
