Gleneagle State School -Pedagogical Framework

‘Strive to Achieve’

  • We believe students are able to achieve their potential when the whole child is nurtured; academically, socially and emotionally (Durlak, Taylor, Kawashima and Pachan, 2007, Durlak, Weissberg, Dymnicki, 2011).
  • We believe that active, instructional leadership works (Marzano, Walters, McNulty 2005).
  • We believe that the quality of teaching determines the quality of outcomes of students (Hattie & Timperley, 2007).
