Teaching & Learning - Pedagogical Model

#Inspiring Learning

Pedagogical Model

The Pedagogical Model defines what high-quality teaching looks like.

 

The Model provides an overview of the learning cycle and breaks it down into five domains or phases of instruction. It is flexible and can be readily modified for different settings and learning areas.

Engage

Teachers know their students well and engage them in building supportive, inclusive and stimulating learning environments. Teachers motivate and empower students to manage their own learning and develop agency.

Explore

Teachers present challenging tasks to support students in generating and investigating questions, gathering relevant information and developing ideas. They help students expand their perspectives and preconceptions, understand learning tasks and prepare to navigate their own learning.

Explain

Teachers explicitly teach relevant knowledge, concepts and skills in multiple ways to connect new and existing knowledge. They monitor student progress in learning and provide structured opportunities for practising new skills and developing agency.

Elaborate

Teachers challenge students to move from surface to deep learning, building student ability to transfer and generalise their learning. They support students to be reflective, questioning, and self-motivated learners.

Evaluate

Teachers use multiple forms of assessment and feedback to help the students improve their learning and develop agency. They monitor student progress and analyse data to draw conclusions about the effectiveness of their teaching practices, identify areas for improvement and address student individual needs.

Domains explained: Click here to view a resource that unpacks the structure of how each domain is presented, allowing teachers to focus their efforts and engage with each domain. In practice, the domains do not exist in isolation. Teachers will switch between domains in response to student needs and learning program requirements.

Putting it together: View here how the Pedagogical Model combines with the Practice Principles and the High Impact Teaching Strategies.
