Curriculum Corner
KG - 5
Monday, 2 January 2023
Welcome to 2023! I hope everyone had a chance to rest and rejuvenate over the break.
We have a lot to celebrate. Progress has been made across all areas of teaching and learning, curriculum alignment, and student outcomes.
As we reflect on what has worked well, think on how we can leverage those specific strategies across RAKAA. What are your next steps in your class? What are the next steps for your grade level? How will we meet the needs for each student? What supports do you need as a teacher? (Goal Setting)
Included in this newsletter are some strategies to use for goal setting for both your professional goals and individual student goals. In addition, best practices specifically outlined through the research by John Hattie, on High Impact Teaching Strategies or HITS are also included. These strategies specifically target practices to strengthen instruction.
As we resume our school routines, remain flexible and most importantly be patient with yourselves and each other!
