Monitoring and assessment

• Use assessment information to evaluate and extend students' achievement.

• Manage students who fail to complete or submit work according to school policies.
• Support more able students, those working below expectations, or with emotional/behavioral difficulties.
• Record and communicate students' progress systematically.
• Discuss progress and set targets with students using performance profiles.

Online class management

• Create a purposeful, disciplined learning environment where students feel secure and confident.
• Maintain high expectations of behavior and promote self-control and independence.
