Driffield School Teaching and Learning Policy
All staff have a responsibility, collectively and individually, to contribute to the delivery of the broad, challenging and appropriate curriculum. In addition they individually have a responsibility to strive to deliver lessons where the teaching and learning is of the highest quality and where the learning needs of all students are met.
We recognise that continued professional support, coaching and mentorship at whole school, team and individual level is essential to empower staff to deliver effective learning experiences.
The purpose of the policy is:
- to ensure high quality teaching and learning experiences for students of all abilities and aptitudes
- to provide a framework for teaching and learning within which there is flexibility and scope for creativity
- to provide coherence of approach and consistency of expectation
- to make explicit the entitlement of all students
- to raise attainment by increasing levels of student motivation, participation and independence
- to promote reflection on, and sharing of, good practice
- to promote an understanding of how learning takes place
- to make explicit a baseline for monitoring and evaluating the teaching and learning that takes place
- to provide practical guidance and clear procedures
- to provide a focus for development
- to inform teachers, students, parents, governors and the wider community about the aims and processes of teaching and learning
- to identify specific areas of responsibility at a whole school, departmental and individual level
