Learning At St Andrews Kusasa
We engage learners actively by flipping the lessons. Flipping the lesson means the passive activities such as note taking is done outside of the classroom and contact time is used for hands on activities and deeper learning opportunities. Flipping the lesson means that learners enter the classroom with enriched prior knowledge which is a springboard for richer learning experiences.
We offer every teacher that joins our team professional development program that enhances the skills they already have. Teachers are equipped with skills to be High Impact Teachers. They also create an environment where learners can fail and not fear retribution. The failures are then used as a springboard for improvement. We leverage on technology to give learners blended learning opportunities. We strongly believe this is a passport to university.
We create a positive learning environment where all learners thrive and are safe. Teachers have high expectations of learners and endeavor to bring the best out of them. Highest level of discipline is inculcated in learners who are grounded in Christian ethos. Learners are allowed to inquire and problem solve in their environments. A growth mindset is encouraged of all learners.
MORE ON BLENDED LEARNING
Face to face learning is our mainstay but we also have blended learning approaches. Each learner gets access to asynchronous lessons which they can do at their own pace. This helps learners to revise their work properly and on days that they are sick they do not lose out. Blended learning smoothens the path to university.
