How can we effectively implement the Diocesan Teaching and Learning Framework to benefit teachers and ultimately students.

Focus for 2009 is working with the Diocesan Learning & Teaching framework, initially focusing on high expectations.

Implementing relevant PD and opportunity for conversation regarding high expectations.
