Fostering good order is vital to optimise effective teaching time and promote better learning outcomes.
In 2023, Newcomb Secondary College embraced a renewed focus on instilling good order.
This initiative was spearheaded by the college’s new principal, Scott McLeod, who drew inspiration from the Berry Street Education Model’s emphasis on consistency of practice. Remarkable improvements resulting from this shift have already become evident within just six months.
By maintaining good order, students can concentrate fully on their learning, minimising distractions and maximising valuable learning time. This not only cultivates a more pleasant social environment, but also contributes to higher academic achievements, as students are better able to meet high expectations set by their educators.
Promoting good order is particularly beneficial for students who may be neuro-diverse, trauma-affected, or new to the educational setting.
The bustling atmosphere of a secondary school can be overwhelming, with much change throughout each day. The implementation of predictable routines and fostering calm and organised learning environments can significantly aid all students in maintaining their focus throughout the entire day.
Such collective efficacy in creating conducive learning spaces enhances the overall educational experience and contributes to the success of each individual within the NSC community.
