The Clayfield Classroom

Clayfield College has launched The Clayfield Classroom, a framework that promotes excellent teaching and learning.

At Clayfield College, learning is at the heart of everything we do. The school acknowledges that to learn well one must live well and, as such, our teaching and learning framework is a holistic approach. Our learning culture encompasses all in the community, with a particular focus on staff and students.

Providing exceptional learning experiences for students requires attention to the quality of learning available for staff. At Clayfield, we acknowledge that learning is a dynamic and emotional process which relies largely on the engagement of the learner.

The Clayfield Classroom framework attends to the key factors associated with learner engagement by ensuring that excellent learning opportunities are accessible to all at the college. It reflects ideas synthesised from recent educational research and extensive classroom practice. These ideas are organised according to the cornerstones of our environment, the elements essential for learning and the features of high impact teaching.

At Clayfield College we are focused on the needs of individuals, our immediate community and our global community. These needs are addressed through a thoughtfully engineered environment with four cornerstones which together provide a strong foundation for excellent learning. We celebrate diversity and innovation, embrace creativity and challenge, are committed to service and sustainability and are connected and compassionate.

Students needs to be intellectually challenged for high quality learning to occur. Attaining the right balance between difficulty and ease is necessary for them to make meaningful progress and build the capacity to apply their knowledge and understanding to unfamiliar contexts.

The Clayfield Classroom is aimed at facilitating exceptional evidence-based teaching and learning in every classroom throughout the college.
