Principles of Learning and Teaching P12
Students learn best when:

1 The learning environment is supportive and productive.
In learning environments that reect this principle the teacher:
1.1 builds positive relationships through knowing and valuing each student
1.2 promotes a culture of value and respect for individuals and their communities
1.3 uses strategies that promote students self-condence and willingness to
take risks with their
learning
1.4 ensures each student experiences success through structured support, the
valuing of effort and
recognition of their work.

2 The learning environment promotes independence, interdependence and
self-motivation.
In learning environments that reect this principle the teacher:
2.1 encourages and supports students to take responsibility for their learning
2.2 uses strategies that build skills of productive collaboration.

3 Students needs, backgrounds, perspectives and interests are reected
in the learning program.In learning environments that reect this principle
the teacher:
3.1 uses strategies that are exible and responsive to the values, needs and
interests of individual
students
3.2 uses a range of strategies that support the different ways of thinking and
learning
3.3 builds on students prior experiences, knowledge and skills
3.4 capitalises on students experience of a technology-rich world.




4 Students are challenged and supported to develop deep levels of thinking
and application.
In learning environments that reect this principle the teacher:
4.1 plans sequences to promote sustained learning that builds over time and
emphasises connections
between ideas
4.2 promotes substantive discussion of ideas
4.3 emphasises the quality of learning with high expectations of achievement
4.4 uses strategies that challenge and support students to question and reect
4.5 uses strategies to develop investigating and problem-solving skills
4.6 uses strategies to foster imagination and creativity.

5 Assessment practices are an integral part of learning and teaching.
In learning environments that reect this principle the teacher:
5.1 designs assessment practices that reect the full range of learning program
objectives
5.2 ensures that students receive frequent constructive feedback that supports
further learning
5.3 makes assessment criteria explicit
5.4 uses assessment practices that encourage reection and self-assessment
5.5 uses evidence from assessment to inform planning and teaching.

classroom.
In learning environments that reect this principle the teacher:
6.1 supports students to engage with contemporary knowledge and practice

Take These Steps To Build Your Students Self-Confidence
Acknowledge students accomplishments privately and in
front of the group.
Monitor your students activities to see what they are good at doing and what needs
work.
Allow students to be independent so that they can feel
their own strengths and abilities grow.
Encourage students, when they are performing a task or getting involved in an
activity, to do better than they did before, NOT better than someone else!
Express a positive attitude toward your students so they
see that they are worth your time and attention.
Provide time for students to choose their own activities to help them build their self-
worth.

comparing similarities and differences are all a part of this important skill. Critical thinking can also be called logical
