High Impact Teaching Strategies Within The Workshop Model

When working with teachers and leaders, we are always working towards the best outcomes for all of our literacy learners and looking to enable highly effective outcomes. 

This drives us to these considerations:

• What are the high impact strategies that many of us are working with?
• And how can these be managed to enable high impact for every child, every day?

In this episode, we’ll look at this in relation to the English block in literacy learning. 

What are the High Impact Teaching Strategies?

The H.I.T.S. are 10 instructional practices that reliably increase student learning wherever they are applied. They emerge from the findings of tens of thousands of studies of what has worked in classrooms across Australia and the world. International experts such as John Hattie and Robert Marzano have synthesised these studies and ranked hundreds of teaching strategies by the contribution they make to student learning, including:

• Setting goals
• Structuring lessons
• Explicit teaching
• Worked examples
• Collaborative learning
• Multiple exposures
• Questioning
• Feedback
• Metacognitive strategies
• Differentiated teaching

H.I.T.S. requires you to draw on both your deep curriculum knowledge and your skills in assessment for, as and of learning. Applying the H.I.T.S. effectively relies on tapping into your expertise to develop and implement rich, authentic learning tasks. Importantly, adept application of the H.I.T.S. will stimulate your students to take agency for, and reflect on, their own learning.

In this episode, find out how a workshop model (Mini Lesson, Independent Practice, Share/Reflection) provides the perfect framework for the H.I.T.S.to occur in your classroom with ease every day.

Enjoy!
