Productive Pedagogies

Project overview

About the Productive Pedagogies?

Productive Pedagogies are effective pedagogy, incorporating an array of teaching strategies that support classroom environments, and recognition of difference, and are implemented across all key learning and subject areas. Effective pedagogical practice promotes the wellbeing of students, teachers and the school community - it improves students' and teachers' confidence and contributes to their sense of purpose for being at school; it builds community confidence in the quality of learning and teaching in the school.

A Productive Pedagogies Reflection Manual is available to teachers and outlines the 20 Productive Pedagogies with examples of how they may appear in practice. The Reflection Manual can also be used to:

reflect on current classroom practices
generate a professional language
inform design of curriculum and learning experiences
make intelligent decisions about individual student needs.

The Productive Pedagogies project stems from the Queensland School Reform Longitudinal Study (QSRLS) report, conducted by the University of Queensland on behalf of Education Queensland, to research the impact of school-based management on student outcomes.

The Years 1-10 Curriculum Framework for Education Queensland Schools provides the basis for a fundamental reform strategy in the area of teaching and learning for Education Queensland students. This reform strategy is embedded in the findings and recommendations of the QSRLS report and is consistent with the objectives of Queensland State Education 2010 (QSE-2010).
