Personalising Learning

Staff members at Richmond Hill State School are passionate about personalising learning for all students.  

We achieve this through:

  • Exploring and catering to student preferred learning styles
  • Embedding Higher Order Thinking skills into lessons
  • Embedding co-operative learning strategies into lessons
  • Discussing and planning learning goals with students.
  • Allowing students the opportunity to demonstrate and receive feedback on their learning

Feedback

Providing feedback is central to improving student learning, whether it is feedback to students about what they have been able to successfully achieve or to teachers about what their students already know and what they need to learn next. Feedback has to be focused on front end assessment or learning goals that have been identified.

Classroom Teachers write a Learning Support Plan for students below benchmarks and this is communicated with  both parents and students.  

Support Teacher Literacy and Numeracy (STLN)

The Support Teacher Literacy and Numeracy (STLN)'s focus is on the collection, analysis and maintenance of data on Literacy and Numeracy achievement and the documentation of responses made to underachievement.

STLNs provide support to school teams and individual teachers in identifying patterns of achievement and selecting intervention strategies at whole school, cohort and individual levels.
