  13. Questioning Engaging students through effective questioning Our focus this year at VHPS with regard to improving student learning is questioning techniques. Blooms taxonomy of questions is a widely-accepted framework that many teachers use to guide their students through the learning process. Though not necessarily sequential, the hierarchy of Bloom’s taxonomy is often depicted as a pyramid, with simple knowledge-based recall questions at the base. Questions higher on the pyramid are more complex and demand higher cognitive skills from the children.

  14. Collaborative Learning Activity

  15. Communication • School Communicator is being phased out- info on Mobile App and website • Reports and assessments (number per year - x2 reports and x4 assessments) • Homework - how much, what, when, online activities, expectations (Reading each night, x tables, mathletics, spellings) • Parent helpers - readers • Parent skills - topics • Class rep
