As Victorian schools continue on their journeys of developing instructional models for their teaching staff, it is important to acknowledge that learning is a partnership with the students themselves. Therefore, just as how teaching is made explicit and clear through educational instructional models focused on pedagogy, so too must learning be equally explicit and clear for our students. In 2023, Glen Waverley SC began their 12-month-long journey in developing their own Learner Model in partnership with both the teaching and student body. It was pivotal that the development of this model was driven from students, and ultimately accessible to students themselves from Year 7 to 12. Therefore, we are proud that the full development process of our GWSC Learner Model was not merely consulted upon with students at the end, where staff attained feedback. Rather, our students investigated, brainstormed, conceptualised, illustrated, wrote, and taught the Learner Model for their fellow peers. Learn about the process of developing a whole-school policy with students; how we as teachers can empower our students to achieve this, and how to then embed this model meaningfully to affect positive change and culture in schools.
