The session was designed using a three-station model, allowing teachers to rotate through focused and interactive learning spaces.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The first station focused on Assessment for Learning (AfL) strategies, helping us understand how ongoing assessment can guide teaching and support student progress. We explored simple techniques such as effective questioning and quick checks for understanding.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The second station highlighted active learning strategies. Through hands-on activities, we experienced how the use of simple tools, digital resources, and AI-supported strategies can increase student engagement and ensure active participation of all learners.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The third station focused on constructive feedback, emphasizing how clear, specific, and timely feedback helps students improve their learning and build confidence.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Overall, this PD session was highly interactive and practical. The strategies shared were easy to implement and immediately applicable in the classroom. The session strengthened our understanding of how thoughtful planning, active learning, and effective feedback can lead to better student engagement and improved learning outcomes.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Written by: Ms. Tehmina Muzammil\u00a0 Recently, we took part in a Professional Development (PD) session at school that was both&hellip; <a class=\"more-link\" href=\"https:\/\/blogs.beaconhouse.net\/424\/a-valuable-professional-development-experience-at-beaconhouse\/\">Continue reading <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">A Valuable Professional Development Experience at Beaconhouse.<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":731,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[15],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1014","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-from-the-classroom-to-the-blogosphere","entry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.beaconhouse.net\/424\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1014","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.beaconhouse.net\/424\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.beaconhouse.net\/424\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.beaconhouse.net\/424\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/731"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.beaconhouse.net\/424\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1014"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.beaconhouse.net\/424\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1014\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1015,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.beaconhouse.net\/424\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1014\/revisions\/1015"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.beaconhouse.net\/424\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1014"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.beaconhouse.net\/424\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1014"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.beaconhouse.net\/424\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1014"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
