We support the diverse needs of schools around Australia, including urban, regional and remote schools, and public and private schools.
Explicit instruction is a teaching practice based on educational theory, brain research, data analysis and DI. The education pedagogy combines a set of instructional practices with well-crafted lesson design. It includes continuous “checking of understanding” until students master the skills being taught. It is based on the premise that all children can learn.
Direct Instruction (DI) is an education program that combines explicit instruction pedagogy with a comprehensive curriculum, student assessment and scripted lessons. Students are taught carefully sequenced and highly structured lessons and are required to ‘master’ each lesson before advancing on to the next. This ensures that advanced students can be accelerated and that no child is left behind.
A 2016 independent survey of teachers and principals in schools using our literacy programs showed how the overall learning environment in the school had improved.
Good to Great Schools Australia successfully tendered for the Australian Government Department of Education’s Flexible Literacy for Remote Primary School’s Programme. The project commenced in 2014 to provide literacy support to remote primary schools around Australia.
