Principals’ Forum with Steven Capp

Join us for this term’s

Principals’ Forum

with Steven Capp and Sarah Asome (Bentleigh West PS)

 

Think Forward Principals’ Forum Term 4 2021

We are excited to host our final session for 2021, and to hear some of the insights from our co-convenors, Steven Capp and Sarah Asome on Bentleigh West’s Science of Learning journey, and where they are headed next. As many of you know, embarking on an SoL journey is not just about providing world-class instruction which benefits students with learning difficulties. Much more, it is about raising the bar, and helping teachers help students to reach their potential through targeted, explicit, systematic, and effective classroom instruction in English, Mathematics and the other learning areas. 

We also want participants to come with questions, discussion points, and stories, as much of this session will be an opportunity to hear from our Principal members, and to plan our offering for this space in 2022.

We look forward to hearing from you on how we can help as a space of school leaders to get support and advice on where to next, and how to overcome challenges you may be facing.
