High Quality Teaching and Learning (HQTL)

Students are placed at the centre of teaching and learning at DAIS. An inquiry-based and concept-driven approach across all subjects will empower students with skills essential for success in the 21st century. Our academic programme is enhanced and enriched by a wide range of complementary activities that support and augment students' learning experiences.

Our definition of High Quality Teaching and Learning (HQTL) encompasses a broad set of guidelines where learning:

• is holistic to meet the intellectual, physical, social, and emotional needs of learners.
  
  
• takes place in a safe and supportive environment.
  
  
• happens through inquiry, conceptual understanding, differentiated instruction and use of technology.
  
  
• develops critical thinkers.
  
  
• nurtures creativity, research and innovation.
  
  
• fosters collaboration and effective communication.
  
  
• provides experiential learning in local and global contexts.
  
  
• incorporates formative assessment, summative assessment and self-assessment to inform teaching and learning.
  
  
• inculcates the values of integrity, empathy, and compassion.
  
  
• creates self-directed learners.
