Use of technology in the classroom

ICT is embedded within the curriculum, taking the form of discrete skills acquisition as well as in the application to extend and transform learning. ICT supports the aims, principles and objectives of the wider school curriculum and is applied to augment and transform classroom learning and teaching.

The ICT curriculum is applied within three areas:
1. Learning about ICT: teachers and children develop skills and knowledge in the potential uses of ICT to support learning.
2. Learning with ICT: teachers and children use ICT resources to support the classroom curriculum.
3. Learning through ICT: teachers and children use ICT to transform the process of teaching and learning in new ways.

The use of ICT in teaching and learning functions in an inter-related and mutually supportive way. Much of children’s learning about ICT will develop as an integral part of learning with ICT. At the same time, it is acknowledged that learning about ICT will be necessary in order to successfully use ICT tools to support the curricular objectives, and to learn in new ways. Learning through ICT, which supports the general aim of ICT use in the curriculum, places a greater emphasis on the recognition of individual difference, and the use of varied approaches and methodologies in teaching.

Do teachers assign homework to their students?

At RPS homework is termed ‘Home Learning’ and is designed in line with the schools teaching and learning ethos. RPS believes that any learning completed outside school hours is important, and should not be seen as extra ‘work’. Therefore as a school RPS refers to this learning as ‘home learning’ and not homework.

Approximate hours of homework given

Depends on the subject and grade level.

Dedicated staff/programs for students with special learning needs

RPS is an inclusive school. It will not be able to provide care and education for pupils with severe or profound learning challenges. It will however be managing each application individually, sensitively and in consultation with KHDA before deciding on such an admission.

Learning support offered

Pupils who have been identified as having an accelerated provision for a particular subject will be identified through teacher observation and the school assessment framework. Individual education tracking will take place with a dedicated member of staff accountable for ensuring adequate provision. This may take the form of extended classes, however in the majority of cases this will be accommodated through high quality differentiation in the classroom.

Teaching approach of the school

At RPS the strategy for teaching and learning aims to ensure through evidence that all pupils achieve their potential. Teaching and learning is the core purpose of what the school does. High quality learning, teaching and subsequently achievement are what RPS wants for every pupil within the school.RPS believes that the more it has a shared understanding of what constitutes effective teaching and learning, the greater its success will be.

Each child is unique and comes to RPS with their own personal histories, strengths and opportunities for growth. Children will reach different developmental milestones at different stages in their lives, however there are general standards within age bands and approaches to teaching and learning that can be applied to support development and ensure each individual reaches his or her goals.

RPS offers a curriculum that is ‘balanced’ which includes mathematics, languages, sciences, technology, humanities, creative arts and physical education. A ‘broad’ curriculum of this type provides the opportunity for learners to experience, acquire and develop essential and valued learning from a variety of contexts. Where possible disciplines, such as information technology, are infused in the teaching of other subjects rather than being taught as a discrete subject.
