Specialist
Learning Program
Whilst all teachers
are encouraged to develop a multi-disciplinary set of skills, a
number of programs seek to promote excellence in learning through
engagement of the student with a ‘specialist’ teacher. The
specialist teacher draws upon a well-developed and specific set of
skills and interest in a particular area of the curriculum. The
attendance of groups of students at specialist lessons provides
other teachers with non-contact time for planning and meeting
purposes.
