High Impact Teaching

Practical tools. Proven approaches. Whole-school teaching excellence.

In today’s complex classroom environments, effective teaching practice has never been more important. Whether it is adapting to diverse student needs, evolving technologies or shifting educational expectations, High Impact Teaching aims to equip educators with the tools and strategies that make a difference for all students.

High Impact Teaching offers in-situ professional learning, focused on the heart and soul of education – excellence in teaching practice. Today, we have access to more information about how students learn than ever before. National and international research confirms that there are teaching practices that reliably increase student learning wherever they are applied.

This whole school professional learning partnership with AISNSW is designed to embed high-quality, evidence-informed instruction grounded in cognitive neuroscience across all classrooms and year levels, enhancing the teaching quality within your school.

For Teachers

Teachers receive ongoing, in-person support through workshops, lesson demonstrations, classroom observations, and instructional coaching. The program answers the critical question: “What does evidence-based practice look like in the classroom?”—by showing, not just telling. Teachers collaborate to plan, rehearse, and refine strategies that are immediately applicable, building confidence and capability across all learning environments.
