MP12 Instructional Model

At Myrtleford P12 College, our MP12 Instructional Model is grounded in the Science of Learning and informed by Cognitive Load Theory, ensuring every student has the best opportunity to learn effectively. We recognise that learning happens when new information is carefully built upon prior knowledge, and when the demands on a learner’s working memory are thoughtfully managed. Our model focuses on explicit teaching, guided practice, and opportunities for students to apply their learning independently. Teachers use clear learning intentions, success criteria, and regular feedback to support deep understanding and skill development. By aligning our teaching practices with evidence-based principles, we create a structured, engaging, and supportive learning environment where all students can thrive.
