ECE Professional Articulation Guide - Teaching Strategies

Designed to support Educational Leaders in coaching educators to confidently articulate intentional teaching practices.

Many educators confidently use teaching strategies every day—but articulating why a strategy was chosen is what demonstrates intentional teaching, professional judgement and quality practice.

This guide has been designed to support Educational Leaders in coaching educators to recognise, understand and confidently articulate the purpose behind key teaching strategies. By exploring each strategy through the lens of assessment, inclusion and differentiation, educators can strengthen reflective practice, build professional language and gain confidence in explaining the thinking behind their decisions.

Whether you're preparing for Assessment and Rating, mentoring educators or simply strengthening intentional teaching across your service, this resource is designed to support meaningful professional conversations.

Inside you'll find:

• Eight key teaching strategies aligned with intentional teaching practices.
• Educator-friendly explanations using professional language.
• Assessment, inclusion and differentiation connections for each strategy.
• A practical coaching resource for Educational Leaders and leadership teams.
