Teaching & Learning
A wide variety of teaching and learning strategies are used to engage students actively in their learning:
- experiential learning;
- problem-based learning;
- differentiated instruction;
- cooperative learning and group work;
- use of ICT – the use of iMac for music, art and graphic design; data-loggers for geography and science, e-platforms for knowledge forums;
- inquiry-based approach in the humanities and sciences (through sources and real world cases); and
- presentations, debates and role plays.
Assessment
Different modes of assessment are used to evaluate students’ learning:
- traditional pen-and-paper tests;
- self- and peer assessments;
- investigative projects;
- rubric assessments;
- performance tasks;
- journaling;
- portfolios; and
- International Schools’ Assessment (ISA)
Varied assessments are used to enhance higher-order thinking skills in students and promote independent learning. Students will also further develop their computer skills and be suitably prepared for life in the digital age.
