MACS Flourishing Learners - Vision for Instruction

We continue to bring you an Annotated Glossary of Terms to support your understanding of MACS Vision for Instruction: This glossary features essential terms and concepts related to evidence-based teaching practices, cognitive science and the Melbourne Archdiocese Catholic Schools (MACS) Vision for Instruction. It provides concise definitions of each term along with annotations.

They are separated into categories. The third section is Cognitive load theory.

In our previous newsletters, we looked at the Vision for reading instruction and writing instruction and explained the evidence-based practices that are derived from research and studies of the most successful teachers on how students learn. So, how does this happen? At St. Mark's, we are cognisant of using science research when making decisions about instruction, professional development and school improvement. We are guided by the recommended implementation processes and specific practices to make our school-level change journey more successful. Our leadership has embraced the Principles of effective implementation, the 4E implementation process and System implementation enablers. The implementation approach is built on research-informed practices and effective professional learning models.
