At Somerville Rise Primary, we teach in five-week learning sprints which include careful curriculum development and planning against our yearly scope and sequence and Victorian Curriculum. Teachers work in teams to identify the skills and knowledge they want students to achieve by the end of each learning cycle, which by the end of the year will target all areas of the curriculum with multiple exposures.
To communicate to parents what skills and knowledge our learning sprints will focus on, a Curriculum Overview will be sent home for each year level, highlighting the learning focus at the beginning of each sequence via Compass. Teachers also work together to moderate and assess student learning, the outcome of these assessments will be sent home to families in the form of two Semester Reports and eight Learning Sprint Feedback. Both are designed to give timely and accurate information to parents/carers on their child’s progress throughout the year.
Opportunities for parents/carers and students to discuss academic, social and emotional progress with teachers are also important and we have two formal opportunities for this to take place in the form of Parent Teacher Interviews.
Further information regarding our reporting and communication process is attatched in the document below.
