Course Description

The final weeks of term — whether it’s Term 1 or the end of the school year — can feel both rushed and fragmented in secondary classrooms. Between assessments, reporting, and excursions, attention is often stretched thin. Yet, this time holds real potential for student growth, connection, and transition support.


This course provides a flexible, practical framework for using the end of term with intention. Through a range of student-centred strategies, teachers will explore how to scaffold reflection, gather feedback, and support students in identifying their progress and next steps — while also reflecting on teaching practices and classroom routines.
