At Mabel Park State High School, our commitment to high-quality teaching and learning is captured in MP State's Model for Learning—a clear, consistent framework that empowers teachers and students at every stage of the learning process.
Originally designed by our teachers and shaped by our school context, the model is grounded in research and has been refined through student voice and evidence-based best practice. It reflects what works in our classrooms and supports high-impact teaching and learning. It guides effective instruction through four key phases: Enter & Engage, Explicit Instruction, Cognition & Application, and Review & Reflect. Each phase outlines practical, evidence-informed strategies that build student understanding, boost engagement, and deepen learning.
Central to the model are our common practices, High Expectations, Quality Differentiation, Releasing Responsibility, and Digital Innovation which ensure that every classroom experience is purposeful, inclusive, and future-focused.
MP State's Model for Learning is more than a framework, it reflects our shared commitment to excellence and our belief in every student's potential to thrive, grow, and succeed.
