Explicit instruction

A teacher focuses on developing a positive learning environment and high expectations for success with his students in a composite class at Kubin Village State School. The teacher models the learning process for students by using an 'I do, we do, you do' strategy and emphasises the importance of providing students with purposeful and understandable feedback to support achievement. In the 'you do' phase the teacher uses an online resource to differentiate teaching to meet individual student strengths and needs.
