CPS Instructional Model / Curriculum Overview
EG: Instructional Model

We stay abreast of cognitive science and educational psychology to ensure all practice aligns to the best evidence available.
At Carnegie Primary School our school-wide instructional approach is systematic and explicit teaching to ensure all students have the ability to master increasingly complex knowledge and apply it to different situations as they move through the school.

Our lessons follow lessons follow a cyclical routine to include daily reviews, a teach first, 'I do, we do, you do' lesson structure, which moves from explicit instruction through to independent practice and all teachers are developing consistent engagement norms and checking for understanding techniques to ensure consistency in practice from class to class.

We provide a well balanced curriculum where the focus is to increase fundamental knowledge and skills in domain specific areas that provide the catalyst for higher level thinking and creativity, as students become increasingly proficient.

The development of Literacy and Numeracy knowledge and skills across all year levels is a priority as students form the basis of academic success.
