CURRICULUM CONNECTIONS
INSTRUCTIONAL TEACHING & LEARNING MODEL
A strong and consistent approach to Teaching and Learning is required to be able to achieve this success across the years for each individual student. Here you will get a snapshot into the common language and the typical structuring of a lesson in order to cater for each students ’ learning need.
Opening:
Setting the learning intention for the session and how to achieve it.
Mini - lesson:
The explicit teaching where the teacher shows students what and how to do the work. This could look like, worked examples, modelling, explaining or even addressing some misconceptions from the previous session. Student work time: Students: read, write, and/or talk to work with the content. Students are able to practice and apply the skills/ concepts covered. Students could be working collaboratively or independently. The teacher can work with individuals and small groups to both individualise and differentiate. Catch: A quick, whole - class “ break ” to model/ share a strategy that will help them re - engage. This could look like a puzzle, brain break, reviewing the learning intention or a class discussion to direct students to the next task. Release student work time: Students are again set off to complete independent or collaborative work. This may be a new task or a continuation of the previous task. Reflection: This is the wrap up, a time to share on the learning of the session and evaluate the success against the learning intention set at the start of the session. The teacher can gauge the learning and assess where to next.
