Explicit Instruciton

At School of the Good Shepherd, we continue to strengthen our use of Explicit Instruction to help every student become a confident, successful learner. This approach involves teachers clearly explaining new learning, modelling skills and strategies, providing opportunities for guided practice, and gradually supporting students to apply their learning independently. 

Aligned with the MACS Vision for Instruction, Explicit Instruction promotes meaningful participation, builds student confidence and ensures all learners are supported to experience success. Through clear learning intentions, purposeful teaching and regular feedback, we aim to create learning environments where every student feels a sense of belonging, agency and the opportunity to flourish.
