During Staff Professional Learning, Siena College staff delved into refining their data informed practices. Teachers seized the opportunity to analyse attendance trends among their students, leveraging this insight to forge collaborative strategies aimed at sustaining student engagement.
Simultaneously, the Counselling Team explored how disengagement may present itself within our classes. Through interactive sessions, staff showcased effective strategies inspired by the Berry Street Education Model. These approaches have been successfully implemented in both VCE English and French (Years 7 to 9) classrooms, serving as proactive measures to mitigate student disengagement.
