CURRICULUM/TEACHING AND LEARNING
By now, all students will have completed Milestone tasks in each of their classes. Teachers will be setting aside time in their lessons to give feedback for students to take on before embarking on their Common Assessment Tasks in week 8 of this term.
EMBRACING FEEDBACK: A PATHWAY TO GROWTH
Feedback is a powerful tool for growth and improvement. Whether it comes from teachers, peers, or self-reflection, feedback provides invaluable insights into our strengths and areas for development.
Incorporating feedback effectively requires an open mindset and a willingness to learn from both successes and setbacks. When receiving feedback, consider it not as criticism but as an opportunity for refinement. Actively listen, reflect, and identify actionable steps to implement the feedback constructively. By doing so, we not only enhance our academic performance but also foster a culture of continuous improvement within our school community. Students who have not shown growth or who have not completed tasks will be asked to meet with their teachers in their own time, complete extra learning tasks in school and for homework.
You can support your students at home by asking about tasks, setting aside time and space for students to complete homework and encourage your student to seek help from the staff here at Greenvale if they are stuck or unsure of a task.
With Unit 2 assessments approaching, preparation is key to achieving academic goals. Start by being familiar with assessment formats, content, and expectations outlined by the teachers, always refer back to the Rubrics you were given at the start of the topic. This might be as a paper copy, on your class Teams channel or on Compass.
