HOW WE TEACH

At Badger Creek Primary, we teach each lesson using our Instructional Model, which is designed to transfer independence to students as they become more confident with new concepts.

Each lesson has a clearly defined learning focus and follows the structure below:

• Tune In – Students are energised with a game or activity that sets the tone for the lesson and familiarises them with the learning focus

• I Do – Teacher explicitly teaches the skills and strategies needed for learning focus.

• We Do – Teachers work with students to explore these skills and strategies together

• Check-In – Time to clarify uncertainties or misconceptions from the shared skills practise.

• You Do – Students apply their skills and strategies independently or collaboratively, with teacher support.

• Reflection – Students reflect on whether their learning goals have been achieved and determine their next step.
