Mr Tim’s Classroom

Engagement is the degree of attention, curiosity, interest, optimism, and passion that students show when they are learning or being taught. Without engagement, students are not motivated to interact with the content. We engage our students with a variety of techniques and teaching strategies to maximise their learning experience.

It may sound obvious, but children need to ‘think’ to learn. ‘Thinking’ involves solving problems, inferring meaning, predicting, reasoning, sequencing, and other higher order thinking skills. Mr Tim’s Classroom specialises in teaching children to think and incorporates these strategies across its courses. Strictly rote learning classes that do not encourage ‘thinking’ are of limited value in the long run.

In psychological terms, ‘learning’ is often defined as a relatively permanent change in behaviour, knowledge and thinking skills as a result of experience. Our goal is to ensure all our students learn and achieve the outcomes of our programs via intentional and strategic educational interventions. The ‘experience’ of education facilitates learning.
