THINGS WE LEARNT FROM PARTICPATING IN THIS SIP

1. Authentic and meaningful reflection is an important part of the learning process.2. Our students need more opportunities to evaluate their own work for the purpose of improving it.

3. Our students responded well to this activity we have committed to provide our students with future opportunities to reflect on their learning.

OUR TEAM WERE ACTIVELY INVOLVED IN THE SIP IN THE FOLLOWING WAYS:

1. ACTIVELY INVOLVED IN THE LEARNING WALK PROCESS.

2. ENGAGING IN PROFESSIONAL DISCUSSION AND REFLECTING ON OUR PROFESSIONAL

PRACTISES IN ORDER TO IMPROVE STUDENT LEARNING

3. LEARNING HOW TO CREATE A POWERPOINT, IMPORT INTO SLIDE SHARE & THEN EMBED IT INTO THE ULTRA NET
