Model+of+Good+Teaching

** OUR MODEL OF GOOD TEACHING ** As educators we have a professional & moral obligation to cater for the needs of **ALL STUDENTS.** At Cranbourne Secondary College, we value the diversity and freedom that staff have as they engage in the profession of teaching. However, we believe that good teaching involves the following **//“ESSENTIAL ELEMENTS”://** ** 1. **** KNOW YOUR STUDENTS ** This involves the effective use of data that includes: literacy data, numeracy data, assessment of personal learning styles & the individual interests of students. **//Interact with students to build a positive relationship//**

** 2. **** CLEARLY COMMUNICATING THE PURPOSE AND INTENT OF EACH LESSON ** This involves making connections with previous lessons and a summary of key outcomes at the end of each lesson. This helps to reinforce the relevance of each lesson as you progress towards achieving your long term outcomes. **//Set a firm but fair tone to your classes.//**

** 3. **** KNOWLEDGE & USE OF DIFFERENTIATED LEARNING STRATEGIES ** Effectively catering for the educational needs of all students in mixed ability classroom. This involves the use of strategies that improve student outcomes in literacy, numeracy & ICT skills, but never underestimating the importance of facilitating the personal development of students.

** 4. **** EFFECTIVE USE OF FEEDBACK AND ASSESSMENT ** This involves establishing a “positive climate” in the classroom where assessment is used to improve student outcomes, and feedback to and from students is fostered and encouraged. There is recognition that an emphasis on “self improvement” will help to establish a healthy and vibrant classroom climate**, //based on respect//**//.//

**NOTE:** //At Cranbourne Secondary College we value and foster constructive dialogue between professionals about the practice of teaching. **We are committed to a culture of sharing and self improvement. Teachers are expected to be knowledgeable in their teaching areas.**//
