At River Gum Primary School, we use the Multi-Tiered System of Support (MTSS) model to ensure every student gets the support or challenge they need to succeed. This approach helps teachers identify learning needs and provide the right level of teaching for each child.
Classroom Learning (Tier 1)
All students engage in high-quality, responsive teaching that follows the Victorian Teaching and Learning Model (VTLM 2.0). Lessons are designed to meet diverse learning needs and provide a rich, knowledge-based foundation.
Targeted Support or Extension (Tier 2)
Students who need extra support or challenge receive small group programs tailored to their needs. This may include literacy and numeracy interventions, EAL support, or extension activities that reinforce classroom learning and build confidence.
Individualised Support or Advanced Challenge (Tier 3)
Students requiring intensive support or advanced extension participate in personalised programs that are closely monitored and adjusted based on progress, ensuring learning is both effective and engaging.
By combining high-quality classroom teaching with targeted intervention and extension, our MTSS approach ensures every student can achieve their full potential and thrive at River Gum.
