Building Reflective Practices

NPL

Last year, our teachers participated in four learning sessions dedicated to planning around the Big Ideas, which are crucial components of our curriculum. As a result, we now have clear and visible Big Ideas in both the classroom and lesson planning. You can observe this in the summaries and overviews for all classes at McKinney, where these significant concepts are prominently featured.

This year, our School Story Committee is working on the second action of our School Story Focus, "Reflection: What big ideas are you exploring? How are you doing with this learning?" So far our teacher consultant team has provided 2 Staff Lunch-and-Learns with our Teacher Consultants, Jonathan Tang, Shaheen Musani, and, Shannon Daly, on November 16 and 30 and we will have 2 more later in the year.. This year's Lunch-and-Learn Fucus is, Building Reflective Practices with the aim of collecting some school wide reflections in Term 3 as data for our School Story focus.
