Tools for Explicit Teaching with Michael Rosenbrock
Overview
Translating the theory of explicit teaching into effective classroom practice can be challenging.
This program helps you unpack the nuance of a specific explicit teaching technique to ensure high-impact learning in your context.
By the end of this program, you will:
- implement practical explicit teaching techniques in your classroom
- understand why explicit teaching improves learning outcomes
- use structured modelling and scaffolding to support all learners
- apply specific tools directly connected to the Victorian Teaching and Learning Model 2.0.
Over 4 workshops, you will focus on the essential components of explicit teaching. You will unpack the what, why, and how of translating these into your daily practice.
Key components
- Planning and structuring: organise your lessons for maximum clarity.
- Modelling and demonstrating: show students exactly how to succeed.
- Checking for understanding: identify and address learning gaps in real-time.
- Faded scaffolding: guide students toward independent mastery by gradually removing supports.
Each session will include practical examples and actionable insights directly connected to the Victorian Teaching and Learning Model 2.0.
