Teaching team improve their practice and teach to mastery

The teaching team’s primary objective is to support their students as they learn, develop their knowledge, skills and ability to demonstrate mastery. They want to ensure that students are making standard progress or catching up. Participating in coaching enables the teaching team to improve their delivery of effective teaching techniques and practices. Through coaching they develop an understanding what teaching to mastery involves and what it looks like in action. They build confidence so that they can consistently and effectively teach to mastery.

How it works

The teaching team engage in the professional learning provided by the instructional leaders. This includes classroom observations, feedback and improvement activities, weekly lesson practise, observation of peer lessons, completion of practice lessons, coaching conversations and other improvement activities.

When teachers and teaching assistants can objectively reflect on their professional practice and the way it affects student’s motivation, engagement and learning, they are open to coaching to achieve the best outcomes for their students.
