Faculties at SHHS are working as teams, we are sharing the process of researching teaching and learning strategies to adapt and evolve teaching and learning practices that support the needs of students at SHHS. We are utilising evidence based and researched strategies to inform our practice. Below are links to pages that share the research of faculties. There are many approaches that are legitimate and well supported by sound research; faculties through their own research are choosing paths that are best suited to their subject areas and teaching practices. Faculties and individual teachers may draw from multiple models as the need and opportunity arises. This is a work in progress that will evlove as we learn together.
