Contemporary Learning

At the recent Parent Information Meeting for students going into Years 1 - 6 in 2015 we introduced some aspects of 21st Century or Contemporary Learning that will feature at St Aloysius. We all know schooling has changed and some of the feature of modern education include a focus on:

—Collaboration (Teachers & students working & learning together)

—Learning how to learn

—Problem solving – not just one right strategy or solution

—Differentiation – helping each child achieve success

—Reflection on what was learnt  & how it was learnt

—Use of technology

—Balance – academic, cultural, sporting, spiritual, social & emotional wellbeing

 

We also looked at a couple of video clips that captured some of these priorities. These are just a few of the many videos available about contemporary learning:
