Team Meetings

Individual teams meet each week to discuss matters involving individual classes, year levels, and
school wide issues. These discussions will include planning for individual classes, unit, or
activities. Teams discuss the work, the learning taking place and ways to further engage learning
and ensure rigour. Teams will moderate and discuss learner activities, work, assignments and
tests to ensure consistency across year levels, fair grading and standardisation of work and
expectations. These meetings also help to reflect upon areas that were successful and
unsuccessful in teaching and learning for present and future use. Often, individual learners are
discussed in order to brainstorm interventions. In addition to team meetings, teachers meet and
work with learning-support assistants to discuss interventions for students with learning needs.
