Overview

In adressing the Blueprint for Education (Department of Education and Training) a series of Draft Principles of Learning and Teaching have been developed. They will provide teachers with a picture of highly effective learning and teaching against which they can review their own practice.

The Department of Education and Training's document titled Principles Unpacked provides a detailed outline of what the Principles look like within the classroom environment.
