The teacher uses strategies developed from a workshop by boys’ education expert Ian Lilico. He creates a positive learning environment by utilising a 'community circle' where his students take responsibility for their own learning and behavior management by giving each other feedback on their achievements and attitude. Collaboration is encouraged in the students and a strong emphasis is placed on communication. Within the school, the teacher uses his knowledge and experience to lead colleagues in regular meetings that plan and evaluate units of work based on their knowledge and experience of how boys learn.

 

 
Hackham East Primary is a co-educational Government school located in the southern suburbs of Adelaide. The primary school has a strong teaching focus on well-being, literacy, numeracy, and science and information technologies. Despite balanced numbers of boys and girls within the school, the school currently offers a single-sex stream for girls and boys from years 2 to 7. The approach to teaching single-sex classes within the school is informed by current educational research and collaborative approaches to planning, teaching and evaluation.
