Professional Staff Development is an important aspect of every school. Members of staff need to have their profession further developed, while learning new methodologies for teaching.
Last Friday all the members of staff had a hands-on workshop about the Investigation Approach in Science. The teachers, Kindergarten Assistants, Learning Support Assistants and the Senior Management Team got their hands dirty while enjoying a very enriching experience. All members of staff had the opportunity to learn about the Research Cycle and how science surrounds us in our every day life.
The session was animated by the Education Officer for Primary Science, Ms Pullicino, together with the help of two Science Peripatetic Teachers, Mr Buttigieg and Ms Polidano. This session allowed all members of staff to experiment, reflect and give feedback on the work being done.
