Recently we had a visit from ECU Home Economics Coordinator Sandy Smith, who was interested in observing our practical teaching practices, especially the Explicit Direct Instruction.
During her visit, Sandy was very pleased to see that participation and engagement in these classes was very strong, as students were really enjoying the class, which aligned with the teaching strategies used.
Sandy praised our exemplary teachers’ skills, with strong role modelling for students, including guided practice and use of classroom IT. It was evident all lessons had been carefully and thoroughly prepared to maximise students’ learning and class time.
