Objective: Our aim always is to create a culture of constructive collaboration, emphasising both the improvement of student learning and the enhancement of your own professional growth. This aligns seamlessly with the Standard outlined in LOAS 2022, where "Teacher's value and engage in professional learning and professional collaboration."

Highly Effective Practice: We believe that effective collaboration is a key driver of success. Highly effective practice, as outlined in the standard, involves viewing collaboration not only as a means to improve student learning but also as a pathway to personal and professional enhancement. As a staff, we will engage in constructive collaborative practices and conduct collaborative reviews of our teaching methodologies.

Peer Collaboration: Our Peer Collaboration Program included peer observations where teachers had the opportunity to both observe and be observed by their colleagues.

Focused Professional Development: The programme is structured to allow for targeted professional development, emphasising any chosen areas of focus and growth.

Open Dialogue: We encourage open dialogue and constructive feedback, creating an environment where collaboration is a shared endeavour and that it becomes part of the teaching and learning culture in Wilson’s.

We are confident that this initiative not only strengthened our collaborative spirit but also contributed significantly to the continuous improvement of our teaching and learning practices in the school
