Pictures of Practice
Our teaching staff came together to celebrate the start of Term 4 for a 'Pictures of Practice' Staff Professional Development Day. Pictures of Practice are illustrations of teaching and learning, and a way Kambala teachers share their curiosity and classroom practice with one another. It was a meaningful way for our educators to begin our final term of learning at Kambala.
Our presenters came from a variety of faculties across Junior and Senior Schools. Many were inspired by their time with Professor Ron Ritchhart, Kambala’s Acadmic in Residence, and have been implementing the evidence-based work put forward during group professional learning sessions.
Congratulations to the following educators who shared their ideas and strategies for teaching and learning.
