Dive into Deep Learning
On Tuesday, teachers participated in a walk-through of Rooms 23, 25 and 28. Mrs Harries, Miss Morley and Mrs Stone shared their expert knowledge about using deep learning in the classroom. In this case, the deep learning focus was on the 6 Thinking Hats, a critical and creative thinking framework that engages all students at their individual levels. Like the students we teach, we collaborate with each other to become deep learners ourselves."
