Metro Central: Rosmead Teachers Start to Mediate (April 2013)

Louis Benjamin visited Rosmead Primary School together with Michele Lothian, Learning Support Advisor.

It was impressive that the teachers had started to focus on their role as mediators by

  • asking questions,
  • waiting for learners to respond,
  • prompting and assisting learners to extend their responses into full setences.

Teachers were knowledgeable about the Basic Concepts Teaching Model.  Dr Benjamin demonstrated and reinforced the importance of teaching one concept at a time in a systematic and individualized way while working with a small group. Teachers responded well to his guidance.

 The progress of these teachers has been remarkable and the support of the school and its principal is to be commended. Michele Lothian from the Metro has played a key role in this process.
