Teaching and Learning Guidelines

Our program focuses on teaching content through inquiry-based learning. Teachers will ask students key questions before delivering any content that require critical thinking. This way will drive their learning and build connections between their real-life experiences and the knowledge they gain from their education. This approach encourages students to think critically and develop a deeper understanding of the material.

We promote a balanced range of teaching between individual and grouping strategies to give opportunities for self-learning and group-working in the class. Our teachers are trained to produce efficient educational material and encouraged to apply innovative teaching techniques. We also encourage students to take responsibility for their own learning through blended learning. In blended learning, teachers facilitate varieties of teaching resources including digital one for learning and provide a sequence of tasks which designed to guide learning for students. In the classes, teachers will involve students in activities to show off their learning like presentations and practice some exercises.

Technology and learning

We ensured that we provided rich, diverse and flexible learning opportunities for a generation of who are growing up in a digital world. Using technology in our classrooms become very essential and can help them for more engaging in their learning. We believe that by more providing them with opportunities to use technology, the more they become motivated and interested in achieving their goals. We provide the school community with LMS learning management system to support students’ development and let parents easily follow their children.

Assessment

Testing is not the best way to evaluate our students. We use assessment for students’ learning. The purpose of assessment students is to give them opportunities to demonstrate their learning such as group and individual assignments, observation, performance and presentations. Students are assessed on their procedural and conceptual understanding of each standard. Assessment provides teachers, students, parents, and administrators with constructive feedback to improve our teaching and learning as well. We use a variety of assessment strategies with students to monitor student progress and guide future planning and better practice.

Students-Led Conferences

At schools we used to have Parents’ teachers conference as an essential way to communicate about students’ academic progress. we decided to take a new method to do so by students-led conference. It is a great opportunity not only to communicate progress, but also to give students the opportunity to personally demonstrate their progress to their parents. , students will present  the knowledge and skills they have acquired during a term from different subjects.

Homework

Homework is given daily or sometimes weekly. The purpose of homework is to emphasis the concepts students have learned in class, practice their skills, challenge their thinking, and prepare them for the next station of learning.

Homework takes anywhere from 30 minutes to 2 hours, depending on the age group. All homework must be completed and submitted on time. Additionally, students are responsible for taking steps towards long-term projects. We encourage parents to get involved in their children’s projects to provide support and guidance and strengthen their relationships.
