As self - reflective professionals we all know intuitively the things that we are good at and the things that we could be better at as teachers. At Queens’ every teacher should be responsible for and actively involved in their professional development and support the development of others.

lessons and teaching to be and what we want our students to be like and be able to do and know by the time they leave us.• Elements from todays sessions that can be developed and

collaborated on through the year should move us closer to the students at Queens’ being confident resilient learners who take responsibility for their own learning
