The Principles of Learning and Teaching from Prep to Year 12 articulate six principles that can be used by schools, teams of teachers and individuals to reflect on practice and support professional dialogue to strengthen pedagogical practices. The Principles of Learning and Teaching P-12 initiative aims:
to build consistent, comprehensive and improved pedagogical approaches within and across schools, while still allowing flexibility, innovation and local decision making at the school level
to focus teaching to meet the diverse needs of students
to strengthen learning communities within and beyond the school
The Principles of Learning and Teaching (PoLT) program comprises 3 days of professional learning and training for participants. The program includes resource materials and software associated with collecting and analysing data on teaching and learning in your school.
Kaye Fletcher runs the 3 day programs both in-house, at the ACEP Premises and also at schools and other venues.
