Teaching
Excellent teaching is fundamental.
We've implemented Teaching for Understanding a practical framework of education developed by Project Zero, Harvard Graduate School of Education. This type of teaching is a simple, flexible and powerful way of re-structuring learning to focus on understanding, and is driven by the belief that if understanding is the focus of education then knowing and doing will follow. It鈥檚 used by schools globally and nationally with a long history of evidence-based success.
In this article, our Director of Teaching and Learning, Damon Cooper talks about the importance of understanding in lifelong learning.
