Instruction
Teaching that responds to the learner.
Educators use their knowledge of students to choose explanations, practice, feedback, and support. They attend to how students respond, adapt their approach, and coordinate classroom teaching with specialist work.
The aim is to help each student develop understanding, capability, and increasing independence.
What Instruction involves
Choosing an approach
Teachers consider a student's strengths, confidence, and experience of earlier support when deciding how teaching should respond.
Coordinated support
Classroom teaching and specialist work are planned together so a student encounters one consistent response.
Adjusting over time
Teams examine what happens after a change and decide what to continue, strengthen, or try differently.
How Instruction connects to the other drivers
Visibility and curriculum priorities describe what a student needs; instruction determines how teaching and support actually respond.
Professional learning and coaching help teams develop their approach, and Workflows ensure the decisions are carried out and revisited.
