Intentional Teaching Professional Learning Program

The pilot is focused on strengthening early literacy and numeracy outcomes for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children as they get ready for school. It has been designed to complement the existing Australian early learning frameworks, to assist the Department to understand the impact of explicit instruction delivered within a broader play-based approach.

The REEaCh Centre, in collaboration with expert colleagues, have been engaged by the Victorian Government’s Department of Education to develop and deliver four online modules and supporting fact sheets that build knowledge of the use of high-quality intentional teaching in specific content areas to enhance children’s outcomes. This project involves the development and delivery of high-quality, evidence-based intentional teaching professional learning comprising six online modules, including lectures, reflective practice guides, online assessments, and fact sheets, connecting the content of the lectures to everyday play-based learning experiences.

This project is funded by the Victorian Government’s Department of Education.
