Helping to Pave The Way for Teachers Nationwide
Much research goes into teaching, but an area that has been lacking has been supporting teachers with examples of marked work in Years 7 – 9. Our Head of Mathematics, Nick Brooking, has been involved in a research project with the Australian National University to begin addressing this.
The College recently received a certificate of appreciation for Mr Brooking’s expertise and efforts, which involved analysing, comparing and ranking 40 Year 8 Maths assignments. Ultimately, this work will provide teachers with exemplars of work at A, B, C and D levels in order to support teachers around the country in their own marking.
We are blessed at ¹ú²ú¾«Æ· to have such expert teachers as part of our teaching team and we feel incredibly happy for them when their expertise is called upon and recognised by leading institutions from outside our school and region.
