Gradual Implementation of Teaching and Learning Initiatives

The process of implementing teaching and learning initiatives involves gradual rollout, starting with a training day at the beginning of the academic year to introduce the rationale and priorities. Updates are provided throughout the year, and collaborative planning sessions allow faculty teams to share ideas. The school improvement plan spans two years, with the first year focused on trialing and refining, and the second year on embedding. The approach includes training sessions, learning from peers, and a gradual, continuous dissemination of information. Additionally, two recommended books for teachers and students are 'How to Outsmart Your Brain' by Daniel Willingham, offering advice on effective study habits and exam preparation, and 'Meaningful Learning In Action' by Sarah Cottingham, based on Ausubel's assimilation theory of learning and retention.
