Monterey Secondary School’s instructional model is founded on the Victorian Department of Education’s High Impact Teaching Strategies (HITS) and the principles from the book “Driving School Improvement.” This model ensures consistent, high-quality lessons across all year levels, enhancing student learning and outcomes.
Our approach emphasises clear goal setting, structured lessons, and explicit teaching. Teachers provide direct instruction, use worked examples, and promote collaborative learning to foster critical thinking and teamwork. Students encounter key concepts multiple times to reinforce learning, and questioning techniques encourage deeper understanding.
Regular constructive feedback helps students stay on track and achieve their potential. Continuous professional development and coaching for teachers ensures they deliver the best educational experiences. Data-driven decision making allows for targeted and effective teaching strategies, supporting each student’s unique needs.
