• Pathway Statement

  The Teaching and Research Pathway is structured to give colleagues at St. Andrew’s an opportunity to elevate their teaching methods and enhance curriculum and pedagogy school-wide. By integrating research-informed strategies, the pathway envisions a journey where colleagues develop personal and subject expertise and share knowledge. The positive influence of colleagues committed to this pathway influences their department, division, and beyond. The outcome is to consistently elevate the quality of teaching, learning, and overall school experience for every student.
