Developed in partnership with Ochre Education, these resources support the use of effective, evidence-based practices and address the learning expected in the Australian curriculum.

Ochre guides, unit plans and templates

Group facilitation guides

These guides provide suggested outlines for facilitating group sessions where teachers can use the related videos to reflect on their own practice. They could also provide guidance for activities for self-directed reflection.

Explicit instruction

Formative assessment

Mastery learning

Example unit plans

These annotated example unit plans complement the online lessons developed by Ochre Education and AERO. They include guidance on how the unit was structured and sequenced and can be used while interacting with the Ochre resources.

The unit plans allow teachers to see examples of planning for a sequence of lessons and reflect on their own planning for effective teaching. The annotations also explicitly show some of the decisions made during the planning process.

Year 3 Maths: Example unit plan

This unit plan was developed by Ochre Education and Maths teacher Sue Davis. It outlines her approach to teaching a Year 3 unit of Maths on place value.

This unit plan was developed by Ochre Education and English teacher Melissa Garstang-Leary. It outlines her approach to teaching a Year 6 unit of English on biographical writing, focusing on the inspirational figure of Faith Bandler.

Year 8 Science: Example unit plan

This unit plan was developed by Ochre Education and science teacher Darcie Clarke. It outlines her approach to teaching a Year 8 unit of science on cells, organs and tissues.
