KEY ACCOUNTABILITY

TEACHER STANDARDS

1. Teaching is focused on conceptual understanding

Teaching ensures students have frequent opportunities to engage with the statement of inquiry / central idea, key and additional concepts and develop their own conceptual understandings. They can explain or demonstrate their learning, reflect on their learning and make connections to unfamiliar situations or real-world contexts

2. Teaching is based on inquiry

Teaching develops a student's natural curiosity and wonder to provide opportunities for students to investigate, inquire into and answer questions that they have formulated.

3. Teaching is differentiated to meet the needs of all learners

Learning engagements are differentiated and take into account language proficiency and the depth, complexity and pace of learning needed by students. Students are grouped flexibly according to what they are ready to learn and to provide challenge and enrichment.

4. Teaching is informed by assessment

Students receive multiple forms of feedback (self, peer, teacher) and take ownership of their learning, viewing assessment as an ongoing process toward their goals. They understand their progress and can identify actions to improve. Assessment data and observations inform instructional decisions and feedback.

5. Teaching is developed in local and global contexts

Learning engagements provide opportunities for students to learn about others and the world by engaging and taking action with their community and environment.

6. Teaching reflects how students learn

Teaching plans for implicit and explicit opportunities to develop ATL skills. With guidance, students take responsibility for their own ATL skill development, including setting goals, reflecting on their progress and making adjustments in order to meet their goals.

7. Teaching is culturally responsive

Pedagogical approaches incorporate experiences, contributions and histories from across cultures, nationalities, backgrounds, identities and perspectives so students feel represented and seen in the curriculum.

8. Teaching ensures that visible routines and expectations are in place

Lesson expectations are clearly communicated with resources to support students. Behaviour expectations in the class are co-constructed and modelled by the teacher. Low level behaviour is immediately and consistently addressed and positive behaviour management approaches are used to nurture a positive environment. The teacher pays careful attention to monitor the wellbeing of students and regularly communicates concerns with parents.

9. Teaching considers the environment for learning

The learning environment promotes relationships built on trust. There is a positive student climate with opportunities for student collaboration with a balance of student/teacher led work. The teacher seeks contributions from everyone. Students take risks, utilising technology and the environment to develop the skills taught. Students can regulate their learning and attribute their success to things they can change.

10. Teaching uses a variety of strategies to progress learning

Lessons are well-planned with clear learning intentions shared with students. Teaching engages and excites the students, with common misconceptions addressed. Content is sequenced, considering previous teaching and strategies like retrieval practice are used to reinforce learning. Knowledge and skills are applied across subjects.
