Learning & Teaching at the College
STAFF DEVELOPMENT DAY
Improving student learning through growth mindsets
To model for students a love of learning and the value of being lifelong learners, the teaching staff spent Friday engaging in professional learning and dialogue. The learning focus was on the wellbeing and learning partnership and the importance of having a growth mindset to enhance both teaching and student learning engagement. Throughout the day teachers were challenged to reflect on their current practice and consider strategies that they can implement to foster positive learning environments where students are supported in developing their growth mindset and learning engagement.
