REMOTE AND FLEXIBLE LEARNING
– EARLY INDICATORS OF SUCCESS
AND AREAS FOR DEEPER FOCUS
For all students to enjoy excellence in education the
student must be at the centre of our decision making.
We know that student wellbeing and engagement are
foundational precursors for learning and achievement.
A positive climate for learning is enabled by trusting
relationships that foster inclusion and connection
between students, teachers and their school community.

– EARLY INDICATORS OF SUCCESS
AND AREAS FOR DEEPER FOCUS
Strong relationships and open dialogue with families, carers and kin will support
student engagement, build trust and assist teachers with differentiating learning
appropriately for the individual learner context.
We know that partnering with families/carers
and kin around student learning at all levels
and ages, supports student efficacy and
confidence as well as fostering positive
attitudes for learning.

– EARLY INDICATORS OF SUCCESS
AND AREAS FOR DEEPER FOCUS
When students have high expectations for their own learning, and can exercise agency in
learning, this has a powerful effect on their engagement and in turn learning outcomes.
We know that routines and consistency are highly influential for developing learner
confidence and supporting engagement .
We know that considerations of the home environment
and access and connectivity to technology for individual
students is important in remote and flexible learning.

THE VICTORIAN TEACHING AND LEARNING MODEL
An online professional
learning module and an
expanded HITS resource
catalogue will be
released later this term
to provide additional
support for pedagogical
approaches.

Sequencing Online Learning
Engage: spark interest in the topic
and present learning goals and
success criteria
Explore: to activate prior knowledge,
collectively investigate the topic/learning
area and organise shared knowledge
Evaluate: constantly monitor learning
progress through teacher, peer and selfevaluation, and using written/verbal
assessment of/for learning
Explain: explicitly teach new
knowledge and model the application of
new skills
Elaborate: empower students to use the new
knowledge through multiple exposures and
supported by worked examples

High Impact Teaching Strategies
To support learner engagement,
confidence and achievement through
remote and flexible learning we can draw
upon the High Impact Teaching Strategies
we know are influential in providing the
consistency and purposeful routines that
are critical to student learning.

Effective differentiated teaching is based upon understanding student learning readiness, learning
progress, and knowledge of individual student learning profiles, to make evidence based
adjustments for individuals so all students experience challenge, success and improved learning.
