• Monitoring student learning and engagement, providing timely feedback and using assessment data to inform teaching.
• Collaborating with schools, families and support staff to contribute to individual learning and re-engagement planning.
• Contributing to the design, implementation and ongoing improvement of the ConnectED pilot through feedback, evaluation and professional reflection.
• Supporting collaborative planning and sharing effective practice, including coordinating participating educators where assigned.
