Teaching Expertise

Brisbane Girls Grammar School staff are essential to the rigour of the School’s academic programs, and provide students with the individualised care that allows them to succeed in all of their endeavours.

Quality teaching is understood as continually building knowledge, skills and ability in the complex work of diagnosing and appropriately responding to diverse learning needs.

Brisbane Girls Grammar School seeks to create a learning environment where a group’s collective as well as individual thinking is valued, visible, and actively promoted as part of the regular, day-to-day experience of all involved in the learning process.

The classroom, under this construct, is a space where knowledge is learned and shared but also more importantly, created. Learning is deeply relational; the teacher’s experience, empathy and expertise are all essential to a successful lesson.
