• Create authentic, secure assessments with clear grading criteria and feedback mechanisms, while addressing challenges like GenAI risk mitigation.
• Use learning analytics and feedback to refine curriculum and enhance learning outcomes through regular reviews and benchmarking.
• Integrate digital tools and multimedia to enrich learning experiences and support teachers in adopting new technologies.
• Facilitate professional learning, share research insights, and provide 1:1 support to enhance teaching practices and collaboration.
