Dear Parents,
Please be informed that students will be filling in the Student Survey next week. At ABIS, we believe that students are an important source of information on the quality of teaching and the learning environment in individual classrooms. The survey questions that teachers will be asking are based on the Tripod’s 7C’s of Effective Teaching: 1. Caring about students (nurturing productive relationships); 2. Controlling behavior (promoting cooperation and peer support); 3. Clarifying ideas and lessons (making success seem feasible); 4.Challenging students to work hard and think hard (pressing for effort and rigor); 5. Captivating students (making learning interesting and relevant); 6. Consolidating (connecting and integrating ideas to support learning).
The student survey schedule is as follows:
Two of our secondary students are participating in the Quraan reading competition on the 10th of October. On Wednesday, the 11th, we will be welcoming some Grade 7-8 students for a friendly basketball match with our students. On Thursday, the 12th, Student Council will hold its second annual Lock-in Event from 8:00 in the evening until 8:00 the following morning. The Student Council executive officers are busy planning activities that will provide fun, entertainment and a chance to build the sense of camaraderie among our students.
Have an excellent weekend!
Ann Gaillard
