St Patrick’s is continuing to use a practical and evidence-based approach to teaching and learning, providing the education our students and families deserve. This teaching approach, known as High Impact Teaching Practice (HITP), guides the way in which every teacher across the school plans, delivers and supports learning for every student. The approach has been developed and designed based on national and global research into how children learn, known as the Science of Learning. High Impact Teaching Practice involves embedding evidence-based pedagogy in all classrooms, informed by Rosenshine’s Principles of Instruction, supported by high-quality curriculum resources. Our teachers have continued to attend Professional Development opportunities and implement programs that support High Impact Teaching strategies. Mr Pat Ellis (CE Education Lead) will be visiting our school on Wednesday 30 August to view CATALYST and HITP in practice across our classrooms.
