  13. What do we do in CLP? • Design and evaluate curriculum materials with focuses on enhancing teaching and learning with reference to language learning theories, practical experience, student needs and school context • Identify students’ learning problems and work out plans and strategies to resolve them • Tap on teachers’ pedagogical content knowledge, subject matter knowledge, curriculum knowledge, teaching skills and strategies to improve students’ learning as a team TEAM SPIRIT Collaboration among teachers

  18. What is evidence-informed culture ? Why do we have to nurture this in schools? • External Assessment Data (TSA) • Internal Assessment Data(Formative Assessment, Tests, Examinations) • Student Work (Writing, reading, homework, speaking data) • Evidence collected during class visits Research (Black and William 1998) has shown that assessment for learning is one of the most powerful ways of improving learning and raising school standards. Recent research from psychology of learning and studies of learning motivation has further added support to this claim. Confidentiality of student and school data is strictly observed.
