Learning Diversity News
As part of our St Mary’s Annual Action Plan we have identified Writing as an area of focus for improvement in our school. Over the past two Covid years, the staff and students found Writing the trickiest subject to monitor and track against our goals.
This term we are very fortunate to be trialling a Writing Tool called SCRIIBI. Last week we attended our first Onboarding Session with Scriibi and then this week each level was released to meet with me to get our first Rubric and Assessment created. We also used our data to create Teacher Focus Groups around our goals. We are very excited to now go back and implement what we have learnt in the classroom setting. Please see below for more information about SCRIIBI.
