Teaching evolved from purposeful, differentiated practices focused on individual learning styles (2015) to an innovative integrated inquiry and experiential learning model (2018). While both reports affirm high achievement and student engagement, the 2018 report introduces concern that cognitive challenge and deeper learning need strengthening across year levels.
