Learning@Schools09

The Shannon School two lead teachers and principal attended the 2009 Learning at School Conference. The principal concentrated professional development around the implementation of the revised curriculum. One of the major outcomes of this was rethinking on community consultation and the implementation of this for term 3 and 4. Because the school is in the process of initiating new technical contacts, the lead teachers concentrated on discussion with a number of technical and product advisers. The outcome of this is the establishment of ties with a number of companies and the purchase of hardware and software specifically aimed at enhancing the school’s programs. The school is now in the process of establishing a new technical relationship in order to improve the present school ICT infrastructure. The lead teachers have both initiated new programs into their own classes.
