25. Looking Ahead and Next Steps
Continue to expand our learning culture at the
school and share our learning outside the school;
continue to shift our classroom practices to more
student-centred learning
Expand our use of student collaboration and
mobiles in the classroom including the use of
Apple TVs connected to our Smartboards
Further our understanding of formative feedback
and increase student self-assessment and peer-
assessment using co-created criteria
