6. The STaR Chart shows that our greatest weakness is in teaching and learning. I feel that Trends that are seen from the Teaching and Learning Key area tools from 2006-2009 are that there is no change in the progression of developing this area. In the Key are tools there has been no change as the number stays at 12 for the last 3 years. Teachers need more professional development so that they are able to improve teaching and learning in the classroom. I do agree with the assessment because we need to improve and receive more professional development so that we can increase our scores on teaching and learning. Teaching & Learning
