PMACS Visible Learning Action Plan The summary of the action plan developed by staff is below. This provides a useful checklist for staff to assist them in assisting them to monitor the adoption of key Visible Learning tenants for the expectations of each lesson.
The following aspiration and focus areas drive Visible Learning in the School. They were developed in 2021 by the teaching staff, led by Heads of Departments and Impact Coaches.
Visible Learning Time 1 School Aspiration Our aspiration is that all students at PMACS can articulate what is a successful learner (where they are going, how they are going and where they will go next), and for all students in Years 3 – 9 demonstrate a year’s growth (0.4) in NAPLAN Literacy and Numeracy. In achieving this, our students will demonstrate that they have the learning dispositions and characteristics of a successful learner who are assessment capable.
Focus areas Develop a shared language of learning across the School through consistent and clear Learning Intentions and Success Criteria that demonstrate surface, deep and transfer learning. Students understand Learning Intentions and Success Criteria and why they are important. They use these to inform learning and measure their progress. Students know how to use Success Criteria to enable them to understand their learning goals.
