At Nearnung Primary School, we are committed to consistent planning, implementation and evaluation practices to ensure our teaching of the Victorian Curriculum supports all students to thrive……both within and beyond the classroom environment.

The E5 Pedagogical Model opens discussions, invites observation and feedback, and encourages teachers to continually improve their practice. The teaching approach is expressed in the five Pedagogical Model domains with direct connections to the Practice Principles and HITS. In addition, the Pedagogical Model refers to ideas, values and evidence about teaching and learning.

The Model describes what effective teachers do in their classrooms to engage students in intellectually challenging work. It provides an overview of the learning cycle and breaks it down into five domains or phases of instruction: Engage, Explore, Explain, Elaborate and Evaluate.

Pedagogical Model

Practice Principles for Excellence in Teaching Practice

High Impact Teaching Strategies (HITS)

We utilise the E5 Pedagogical Model to support curriculum planning across the school. Throughout the process, students work collaboratively to observe, investigate, analyse and draw conclusions.
