Teaching Model

I Do, We Do and You Do

Our Explicit Teaching Model provides the best possible start for all Mountain Gate students, helping them engage with, and master, the core skills of literacy and numeracy.

‘I Do, We Do and You Do’ is the teaching and learning process that builds learning and moves it from teacher modelling, through guided practice to independent practice. This research-based approach is supported with instruction in thinking and problem-solving and allows students to thrive.
The goal is to move student learning from short-term memory and embed it to long-term memory, so students can continually apply the knowledge they acquire.

Student development is managed through a combination of assessment, results analysis and goal setting, success criteria and feedback that together set a path of continual improvement, provide intellectual challenge and maximise a student’s individual learning potential.
