MAPS for Teaching & Learning Model

After completing significant research into instructional models, Norwood introduced our own Teaching and Learning Model, MAPS. This was a major initiative introduced in 2016, consolidated within 2017 and reviewed in 2023. The model is supported by a wealth of research on explicit teaching practice and focuses on building consistency in our teaching practice through the use of a shared language and understanding. This model allows staff to focus on lessons that stimulate learning, allow for differentiation, provide ongoing feedback and focus on literacy and numeracy.
