Teach Well’s Instruction and Coaching Companion has been developed as a practical and collaborative resource to support high-performing teaching teams in strengthening instructional practice and enhancing student outcomes throughout their schools.

The Companion is intended to guide professional conversations, drive continuous improvement, and build a shared language and understanding of some of the most foundational elements of effective teaching and learning. It is intentionally selective by focusing on high-impact strategies that warrant sustained attention over time, rather than attempting to capture every aspect of excellent teaching.

Grounded in evidence-based instruction, the Companion presents a suite of interconnected strategies — not standalone techniques — that must be applied intentionally, with an understanding of the content being taught and the unique context of each classroom. Effective teachers skillfully combine and adapt these tactics to maximise student participation, initial success, and long-term retention and application of important content.
