TPS TLLM Vision

Effective Teaching. Engaged Learning.

For Every Child.

In Every Classroom.

By Every Teacher.

Practices Of Effective Teaching and

Engaged Learning (PoETEL)

How PoETEL is to be used

As a guide for lesson planning and execution.

As a tool for evaluating quality of teaching and learning.

As a frame for professional development.

TWO-PRONGED APPROACH  

DEEP RESEARCH

  • Deep research is carried out by three TLLM Activists in English, Science and Drama in Education, one of whom is the school’s Research Activist.
  • The research sets out to determine the impact of deliberate planning and application of PoETEL by teachers on students’ engagement in learning across subjects and across levels.


PERVASIVE PRACTICE

  • Every teacher participates in a Learning Circle to explore how academic areas of concern at each grade level can be addressed with the use of PoETEL
  • Teachers are also engaged in Lesson Study to nurture their conscious application of PoETEL to the design and implementation of effective and engaging lessons and the review for improvement.
