Whole School Approach to Pedagogy
We embed our Albany Creek State High School Whole School Approach to Pedagogy throughout classrooms and in practice across the school. We quality assure "Curriculum" drawn from the Australian Curriculum, Queensland Curriculum and Assessment Authority and other registered authorities. We enact evidence-based pedagogy across all of the 11 "Learning" elements. We ensure we know every "Learner" in our classrooms via the 6 elements in this space.
In 2026 Albany Creek State High School is embedding the language and pedagogy surrounding Growth Mindset. We started the year with a presentation by James Nottingham who coined the concept of the “Learning Pit" and worked with our teachers around how we can support students to overcome mindset-related barriers to learning. When students are working in a Growth Mindset, they are open to making mistakes and understand that learning comes with challenge. Growth Mindsets promote strategies to push through challenge to be successful.
