Contemporary learning
environments offer flexibility and opportunities for collaboration,
independence and connectivity toglobal resources. This sort of ‘anytime,
anywhere’ learning is supported by access to portable technologies (eg
laptops).
The Xavier Catholic College approach is developed out of the following emerging issues related to
the National Secondary School Computer Fund (NSSCF) program and implications
for contemporary learning and teaching in all schools in Brisbane Catholic
Education.
Learning and Teaching:
- Learners and teachers create
contemporary learning environments and quality learning outcomes as they shape and enrich their own and others’ worlds.
- Contemporary learning is
personalised and provides anytime, anywhere access for students to portable
technologies.
- Teachers’ access to the Australian Curriculumand supporting professional
resources will be delivered online.
- Brisbane Catholic Education is establishing access to teacher and
student online learning and teaching environments and content.
This is underpinned by the
following assumptions:
- The world of students within
and beyond the school is connected by the use of contemporary information
processing, communication and collaboration tools.
- Teachers engage in continuous
learning to enhance their professional practice and the practices of their
students.
- School and organisation leaders
create the conditions that enable the vision to be realised.
- Parents are empowered to become
actively involved in their child’s education by accessing online communication,
learning, reporting and monitoring systems.
- Planning and resourcing is
future focused and flexibly delivered within the learning context of the
school.
- Accountability and improvement
are reviewed through the School Cyclical Review process in accordance with the BCE Strategic Renewal Framework.
