Teachings and Learning Framework

Greenridge Primary School strives to help pupils reach their full potential (Every Child, an Engaged Learner). To that aim, the MOE PETALS-based Teaching and Learning Framework intend to foster active learning.

The Teaching and Learning Framework resembles a highly lit bulb powered by four different energy sources. The four energy sources represent the GRPS curriculum’s main aspects. Strong foundations in literacy and numeracy, 21st Century Competencies, and Technology-enabled Learning will get incorporated into the forward-thinking and ability-based curriculum to guarantee that our kids are future-ready. Differentiated Support is a feature of the GRPS curriculum that ensures that the requirements of children with varying learning speeds get fulfilled through our individualized programs.

The PETALs framework gets used to make the GRPS T & L framework’s filament. GRPS identifies Pedagogies that promote student engagement in learning; create meaningful Experiences of Learning that stimulate thinking and independent learning. Cultivates a safe and trusting tone of the environment; uses assessment to inform teaching and improve student learning and engagement; and provides students with developmentally appropriate and authentic Learning Content, all based on PETALs.
