Teaching is designed using educational research and cognitive science. At Tarneit Rise Primary School, we ensure our students achieve maximal time on task and we maximize what we do with that time. We build a reading brain in each student through explicit direct instruction, repetition, teacher fidelity, and time on task. We know teaching reading is not just about phonics but is underpinned by phonics and phonological awareness, reading fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension. Our curriculum is organized so students can develop fluency in all components. We know instructional routines matter, so we ensure to teach first, reduce cognitive load, provide opportunities for students to practice more, and teach more in less time. As educators, we know knowledge held in long-term memory is active and can be flexibly and effortlessly applied to a range of situations. Knowledge is what you think with. Because of this, TRPS has committed to a knowledge-rich curriculum in which foundational, enabling, and problem-solving knowledge is strategically developed as students pass through each stage of their education. Committed to evidence-based decision-making, TRPS draws on the research of Barack Rosenshine to design and map the curriculum, select effective instructional strategies, and structure lessons. Explicit teaching, delivery of new material in small steps, guided practice, teacher modeling, questioning, and review and retrieval practice are whole-school agreed strategies that support children in making progress in their learning.
Our community works together to ensure every child has a positive, happy, and rewarding school experience. Families and teachers are genuine partners in the learning process, ensuring our children strive to achieve their personal best and show kindness towards others.
