TEACHERS

The 7 Cs approach helps to foster a culture of learning that sparks joy, deep and critical thinking, and inquiry, and personalise our educational programme to meet the interests and strengths of our students.

CARE – Teachers who care show concern for our students’ emotional and academic well-being. They develop supportive, personalised relationships with students, cultivate an emotionally safe environment and respond consistently to students’ social, emotional, and academic learning needs.

 

CONFER – Teachers who confer encourage and value students’ ideas and views. They seek and respect students’ thoughts, opinions, and input as part of the learning process.

 

CAPTIVATE – Teachers who captivate spark and maintain student interest in learning. They stimulate and engage students by cultivating curiosity and inquiry and by making lessons interesting, relevant, and enjoyable.

 

CLARIFY – Teachers who clarify help students understand the content and resolve the confusion. They explain ideas and concepts in a variety of ways, check frequently for understanding, address misconceptions, and provide useful feedback.

 

CONSOLIDATE – Teachers who consolidate help students integrate and synthesise key ideas. They summarise and make connections in ways that help students see relationships within and across lessons, remember ideas, and build understanding over time.

 

CHALLENGE – Teachers who challenge students insist that they persevere and do their best work. They hold students to high academic standards, encourage persistence, and monitor student effort.

 

CLASSROOM MANAGEMENT – Teachers who are effective at classroom management foster orderly, respectful, and on-task classroom behaviour. They create conditions that enable learning, including establishing a positive classroom climate, teaching self-management skills, monitoring student conduct, and redirecting unproductive behaviour.
