Sharing what works
Tecoma Primary School is committed to evidence-based practice — and to sharing it. Our professional learning resources for educators are in development.
Built on the Science of Learning
Our staff have invested deeply in explicit instruction, structured literacy and numeracy, and a consistent whole-school instructional model — well ahead of the system-wide shift announced for Victorian government schools in 2024.
We believe great teaching is a craft that improves through collaboration. That’s why we document our approach in a suite of professional learning modules — from Scarborough’s Reading Rope and the Big Six in the early years, to Explicit Direct Instruction and our Multi-Tiered System of Supports.
Explore our modules below. Educators interested in visiting Tecoma Primary School or learning more about our approach are warmly invited to contact us.

How we teach every child to become a confident reader
Reading isn’t something children simply pick up — it’s carefully taught, step by step, using decades of research about how the brain learns to read. Here’s what that looks like at Tecoma, in plain language.
ExploreOur Multi-Tiered System of Supports (MTSS) at Tecoma, in plain language
Every child learns differently, and most need a little — or a lot — more help at some point. MTSS is the system we use to make sure each child gets the right support at the right time, for both their learning and their wellbeing, so no one quietly falls behind.
ExploreWe welcome conversations with schools and educators exploring evidence-based practice.
Tecoma Primary School stands with gratitude and respect on Wurundjeri Country. We acknowledge the Wurundjeri People of the Kulin Nation as the Traditional Owners of the land where our children learn, grow and play beneath the mountain ash, and we pay our respects to Elders past, present and emerging. This land always was, and always will be, Aboriginal land.
