The Monty Learning Framework
At Montague School, we use the Victorian Teaching and Learning Model 2.0 (VTLM 2.0) as the foundation for our instructional practices.
The VTLM 2.0 emphasizes evidence-based insights into how students learn, forming the foundation for effective teaching. It offers teachers greater clarity on the key elements of teaching that are supported by the strongest evidence. The 4 elements of learning in the VTLM 2.0 represent these key findings from the evidence-base:
Attention, Focus and Regulation
Knowledge and Memory
Retention and Recall
Mastery and Application
Individual Education Plan (IEP)An Individualised Education Plan (IEP) at Montague School is a foundational part of our commitment to supporting every student to achieve personal growth and success. The IEP is a personalised document that identifies the educational goals, adjustments, and supports each student needs to thrive in their learning environment. Developed collaboratively by the student’s teachers, support staff, allied health professionals, and family, the IEP reflects our shared understanding of the student’s individual strengths, challenges, and learning style. It provides a clear framework for how we will work together to help each student reach their potential—academically, socially, and emotionally. Key Components of an IEP
The IEP is more than a document, it is a living plan that guides how we teach, support, and celebrate each student’s individual journey toward independence, agency, and lifelong learning. |
DifferentiationAt Montague School, differentiation is at the heart of our teaching and learning approach. We recognise that every student learns differently, and we are committed to providing instruction that meets the diverse needs, abilities, and learning styles of all learners. Through effective differentiation, we ensure each student has equitable access to meaningful, challenging, and supportive learning experiences. Differentiation allows our educators to adapt what students learn, how they learn, and how they demonstrate their understanding. This approach encourages engagement, promotes confidence, and supports every student to reach their fullest potential. Key Elements of Differentiation
Differentiation ensures that every student feels valued, capable, and included in their learning journey. Through this personalised approach, we empower learners to succeed at their own pace while fostering independence, curiosity, and a lifelong love of learning. |
