Victorian Teaching and Learning Model
Oakleigh Primary School follows the Victorian Teaching and Learning Model 2.0 (VTLM) when planning and teaching.
The VTLM 2.0 is informed by contemporary evidence about the way students learn and the most effective teaching practices and approaches to achieve strong learning outcomes for students, having explicit teaching at its core.
The VTLM 2.0 includes 2 components:
Elements of learning – the process of human learning, based on cognitive science, neuroscience and education psychology.
Elements of teaching – representing the evidence-based teaching practices that most effectively support learning: planning, enabling learning, explicit teaching and supported application.
