Learning & Teaching Activities

1. Moderation and Verification – This activity is about encouraging faculty colleagues to use the school’s policy on moderation and internal verification as a framework for professional discussion about the standards of courses, the quality of assessment instruments and consistency in the application of standards, and its implications for learning and teaching practices.

 

1. Sharing of Newly Developed Resources and their Implications for Learning & Teaching Practices – This activity is asking staff to share newly developed resources with faculty colleagues and discuss their implications for learning and teaching. The newly developed resources may be taken from new Higher courses or recently developed National 3,4,5 courses or even resources which have been redeveloped in the BGE in light of increased understanding of National Courses.

 

3. GLOW – This activity requires representation from all faculties across the school. The aim of this activity is for each representative to develop their respective faculty GLOW page with the opportunity to upload course resources, the ability to distribute homework and receive homework and the facility to share resources and learning and teaching practices across the school, the authority and the country.
