Education visionary Garth Boomer’s Confirming (and Celebrating) Principle highlights the importance of celebrating learning milestones to reinforce and motivate progress. Boomer advocated designing experiences where learners apply new skills repeatedly in varied contexts, recognising the human need for celebration. This principle resonates with teachers, emphasising the importance of reflecting on and celebrating growth. In this recent produced video, teacher Sarah Taylor celebrates transformative literacy practices at Mt Barker South Primary demonstrating the impact of integrated, meaningful teaching on student engagement and confidence.
