Grant to improve teaching

Brisbane Water Secondary College Woy Woy Campus has been successful in obtaining a grant to support improved teaching methods.

The project aims to look at "improving student outcomes on a senior campus through pedagogy [the art of teaching] and literacy".

The project will be implemented over term four this year and term one next year and will involve nine teachers researching models of teaching.

Teachers will develop strategies to improve intellectual quality and senior literacy, and implement ways of improving levels of student achievement in assessment tasks and exams.

"I am really looking forward to working with staff to improve the teaching and learning across the campus," principal Mr David Beattie said.

"This will be a major step forward for us and will have far reaching implications."
