Part A: Introduction
Adolescent learning can be defined as a crucial phase since it plays a major role in
developing the interest o the students about their subject of choice. My focus on the pedagogical
practices used to effective teach students within a Victorian 7-10 classroom is one of the way to
address adolescent learning in Information Technology and Business management. The
Educators posses a critical role when it comes to shaping the lives of the students. When it comes
to Victorian educational system, the government of Victoria is committed to provide
opportunities for every student to achieve excellence in various parts of education that includes
mathematics, reading, science, creative as well as critical thinking and arts. The purpose of the
research is to found out how student engagement, inclusion and differentiation can be catered for
in Victorian 7-10 classrooms. As per the researchers, education in Victoria chiefly follows the
three tier model of education which is consists of primary education in primary schools, followed
by secondary education in secondary schools and college and tertiary education in universities
and TAFE colleges. As per the “Re-engaging our kids” report, Victoria will provide a socially
inclusive education system where all children and young people receive the support they need to
enable their engagement in school, their wellbeing, learning opportunities and pathways to
further education, training or employment. Students at risk of disengaging or already disengaged
will remain a particular focus for the Victorian government.

need to go through all the

The program for students
with disabilities is a targeted
supplementary funding
program for government
schools in Victoria. The
program provides resources
to school for a defined
population of students who
suffers from moderate to
severe disabilities. In order
to ensure effective
relationship between the
student with disabilities and
other students, effective ice

implemented (Victoria State
government 2018). The

adopted by educators in order
to ensure motivation of the
students in Victorian 7-10
classrooms. For instance, in
order to help the students to
meet the expectation set by
the educators, activities like
peer discussions are
performed. I think, this
process is highly beneficial
for engaging students since
this activity will help the
educators to understand the
strengths and weaknesses of
each of the students.

Teacher/Mentor In order to ensure high
engagement from the
students of class 7 to 10,
teachers need to establish
high expectation from the
students. The major
instructional strategies
that needs to taken by the
teachers in order to ensure
active engagement of the
students of Victorian 7-10
classroom are as follows:
1. Educators should
convey high
expectations of
learning, effort and

students. For this the

The chief instructional
strategies that are adopted by
the teachers in order to

follows:
1. Teachers should
produce different sets

on the abilities of the
students.
2. Teachers should

As per my opinion,
collaboration between the
students as well as inclusion
are the two major solutions
for eradicating issues
associated with disability.
The activities that are being
undertaken by the educators
in order to eradicate disability
are highly efficient. However,
I think, educators of the
Victorian 7-10 schools along
with the government should
focus on developing more

2. Teachers should co-
design inspirational
goals with the
students. As an
educator, he or
should support the
students in

strengths and areas
required for
improvement (Leahy
et al. 2015).

2. Secondly, teachers
needs too develop the
capacity of the
students to

evident when teachers

through discussing

from literature According to researchers,
setting high expectation
from the students as a part
of their regular classroom
activities acts as a source of
intrinsic motivation for
them (Victoria State
government 2018). These
motivations, in turn provide
them with the aspiration to
achieve their short-term
goals as well as long term
ones. As a result of this, the
performance of the students
gets improved in

Researchers states that when
an educator is able to
maintain a safe, sportive as
well as inclusive learning
environment, students gets
motivated, productive as
well as collaborative. This in
turn imposes positive impact
on the educational
performance of the students.
According to survey,
students who suffer from
specific disabilities are more
likely to resist themselves
from participating in class
activities. In order to
encourage them for

The term differentiation can
be defined as the process by
which difference between

ensure that all students in the
groups have obtained best
possible chance for learning

According to researchers,
student differentiation is
considered to be a key skill
that is looked within a
teacher while recruiting
educators in Victorian
schools (Flintoff 2018).
I think it is really crucial to
differentiate students since it
will enable the teacher to
access the merits o each off

collaborative activities like

Part C: Conclusion
From the above discussion, it can be concluded that developing effective pedagogical
practices for Victorian students is highly crucial in order to ensure effective student engagement,
inclusion and differentiation. Educators need to go through all the actions that are needed to
ensure student engagement. After that, they needs to identify specific tool, learning module as
well as resources that is needed for everyday practice as well as for the personal development of
the educators needs to be identified. The program provides resources to school for a defined
population of students who suffers from moderate to severe disabilities. Finally, in order to
ensure effective differentiation, the Victorian educators should implements strategies like
producing different sets of worksheets as well as exercises depending on the abilities of the
students or incorporating several technologically advanced resources trough Information
Technology and Business management base learning. Finally, it can be said that the pedagogical
strategies of Victorian 7-10 classroom are effective enough to ensure efficient knowledge of the
students.
