Quality Teaching Academy

Northlakes High School is a recognised partner of the University of Newcastle Quality Teaching Academy.

A message from Steven Hannon- Director Quality Teaching Academy:

There are a growing number of schools across Australia that have embraced Quality Teaching and have demonstrated a long-term, sustained commitment to their teachers, students and community through the QT approach. In recognition of this commitment, we’ve named these schools as recognised partners of the QT Academy.

Becoming a recognised partner isn’t something that is purchased. This is about us recognising your school for its commitment to improving teaching and learning and for sharing our vision of quality teaching for every student every day.

The Quality Teaching Model is an evidence-based framework that supports teachers to understand high quality teaching practice that makes a positive difference to student learning.

By treating teaching holistically, it reflects the complexity of teaching, and respects what teachers already know and do in the classroom. The QT Model centres on three key dimensions:

• Intellectual Quality: Developing deep understanding of important knowledge

• Quality Learning Environment: Ensuring positive classrooms that boost student learning

• Significance: Connecting learning to students’ lives and the wider world
