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 the 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.
