Victorian pedagogy and learning model (VTLM)

Page Content

​The Victorian teaching and learning model  brings the framework for improving pupil outcomes (FISO) into the classroom. It creates a line of sight betwixt the whole-school comeback approach and classroom practice.

The model allows teachers and school leaders to:

  • focus on loftier bear upon improvement initiatives
  • drive those initiatives through bear witness-based decisions about their teaching and educatee learning.

It encourages collaboration among principals, school leaders, teachers, students and parents/carers in effective learning communities to improve learning outcomes for students.

4 components of the model

The Victorian teaching and learning model consists of four components - more resources are in the links below:

  • A vision for learning helps create a unified ready of values and beliefs to bulldoze a high performance learning civilization.
  • The practice principles for excellence in instruction and learning (practice principles) are nine signature pedagogies which brand the difference in improving pupil achievement and motivation.
  • The pedagogical model describes what effective pedagogy looks like in the classroom and helps teachers employ the exercise principles.
  • The high impact education strategies (HITS) are ten instructional practices that reliably increase educatee learning wherever they are applied.

Each component articulates how FISO is enacted in teaching and learning.
