Teacher Standards

Teaching Excellence

PLC’s teachers are committed professionals who model the concept of lifelong learning. In recent years, professional development and pedagogy has focussed on concept-based teaching; providing effective feedback that informs students (and parents) about where they are, where they need to be and what they need to do to reach the next level of achievement.

The School offers a diverse range of opportunities for staff to build both leadership and teaching capacity. Such opportunities include IB workshops and training courses, and a PLC Parents’ Grant Scheme for professional learning sessions.
