  • co-plan and co-teach learning rounds, workshops, tool-kit training sessions, teacher research interactions (literacy and numeracy), grade and group/department focus sessions
  • assist administrators to focus on quality learning experiences in classrooms
  • assist administrators to run learning-focussed staff meetings to improve student achievement and potential
