Teacher Development

We are very proud of the expertise our teachers bring to reading, writing and mathematics. All of our teachers have many years of training and experience using the Ministry of Education’s current best practice approaches to curriculum delivery.

This year every Vauxhall teacher is completing a high quality online writing course from the United States grounded in strong research and proven practice. We believe this will further strengthen our literacy teaching and continue to enhance learning outcomes for your children.

In addition, some teachers are undertaking the most up to date online structured literacy course from Australia. This builds on the New Zealand based professional development we have completed over the past three years and further deepens our collective expertise in literacy instruction.

Teachers have been involved in a wide variety of professional learning opportunities over the last 2 years in the following areas:

• Structured Literacy
• Structured Mathematics
• Professional Learning Groups - termly professional discussions with leaders from other schools. 
• Autism 
• Dyslexia
• ADHD
