he LEDIMTALI project focuses on teaching practices to enhance learners’ achievement in high-stakes mathematics examinations. The SLCA launched the UWC Coding and Robotics Club, with the goal of exposing school learners to this cutting-edge technology. The SLCA, in conjunction with corporate funders, has prioritised the offering of professional development workshops for STEM teachers, to explore the affordances of cooperative- and problem-based learning, and enhance self-directed learning. This is accompanied by a research agenda evidence of reformed teaching in the post-intervention classroom. Additionally, Educational Psychology is engaging with Chrysalis Academy to assist with the development of young adults on mental, physical, emotional, and spiritual levels; again with nascent research opportunities. We are also engaged in the Collaborative Online International Learning practices with Missouri University & Kobenhavns Professions Hojskole (Denmark), which focuses on the internationalisation of teaching and learning, as well as teacher development.
