We practice quality teaching and learning
A distinguishing feature of Caulfield Grammar School’s approach to quality teaching is to provide weekly, strategic professional development for all teaching staff.
Why? Because research indicates that the biggest influence on your child’s learning outcomes is the quality of the teacher and their teaching practice.
Caulfield Grammar School does not stop at providing innovative learning programs for its learners; it also provides them for its staff, to complement and enhance the learning programs.
We recognise that the greatest impact we can make is through the provision of quality teachers and quality professional staff. Therefore, with a focus on evidence-based quality teaching experiences, all teachers are engaged in a comprehensive professional development program which incorporates weekly professional learning sessions.
Teachers and professional staff work with their leadership team to develop an annual professional and personal development plan and are regularly appraised by their colleagues, learners and themselves.
Our professional development is shaped by our long-standing formative practice foundation, and the Australian Institute for Teaching and School Leadership (AITSL) Standards.
Formative practice refers to the process of creating effective teaching and learning. Our model of formative practice sees teachers and learners actively engaged in the construction of their learning, with a focus on deep thinking and improvement. Teachers draw on a body of international education research about what constitutes the most effective teaching and learning with a focus on ‘How’ they teach and ‘What’ learners will learn.
Every member of our teaching staff is introduced to our FOCUSED (formative practice) model of learning, a practice that actively engages both staff and learners in their own learning. This foundation is arguably the most comprehensive undertaking of any school in Australia and is grounded in current educational research identifying the most effective teaching and learning strategies.
Maintaining our commitment to foundation work on formative practice, our FOCUSED model provides the lens through which we have designed our curriculum and assessment practices.
This model is designed to develop teacher agility and student agency by continuously improving feedback, ownership, collaboration, understanding students, ubiquitous use of technology, specific learning intentions, experiential learning opportunities and data-informed success criteria.
Teachers are encouraged to regularly observe one another’s classroom practice across learning areas and share their strategies to design effective learning environments to maximise learning. Ultimately formative practice empowers learners to understand their own learning, to be active participants in their learning – able to express their thinking openly, share and critique one another’s understandings, fostering responsible, active learners.
