`Pedagogy & Classroom Practice

What is feedback?

Each year, the Curriculum Leaders select a theme for the whole school professional development at Duncraig Secondary. In 2018, we are going to focus on our Pedagogy. My aim is for every teacher to develop their classroom practice in an area of their choice. At present, the areas of focus for 2018 will be around:

  • Visible Learning
  • Thinking Routines
  • Motivation and Engagement
  • Giving Feedback, and
  • Formative Assessment.

These will provide the topics for each term. In 2017, our focus was the ‘what’ of data analysis – next year will be the ‘how’ of pedagogy. You can find out on our 'Pedagogy pages'.
