Overview:

The High Impact Teaching Strategies (HITS) are 10 instructional practices that reliably increase student learning wherever they are applied. They emerge from the findings of tens of thousands of studies of what has worked in classrooms across Australia and the world. The HITS are not intended to replace other teaching strategies teachers might already use with success. Instead, they will add to the repertoire of effective strategies that teachers can apply to the wide variety of learning needs that students present with each day.

The High Impact Wellbeing Strategies (HIWS) have been developed by Monash University in collaboration with the Victorian Department of Education to support classroom teachers to promote student wellbeing. The strategies can be used by every teacher in every classroom and by teams of teachers collaborating to improve student wellbeing. The HIWS are most effective when implemented in a way that promotes positive peer relationships, student voice, agency and leadership, and student engagement in learning.
