Launchpad 2026: The Early-Career Teacher Playbook
Start strong, teach with clarity, and thrive. Launchpad 2026 is an positive, evidence-informed workshop that gives early-career teachers the essentials to run calm classrooms, design purposeful learning, and assess with confidence—aligned to the Australian/Victorian Curriculum 2.0.
We cut through the noise and focus on what works: building positive relationships and consistent routines; lesson design via Explicit Teaching/GRR; practical differentiation (pre-assessment, small tweaks, high-challenge tasks); active learning that actually deepens understanding; and assessment that feeds learning forward (clear success criteria, formative checks, and efficient task rubrics).
You’ll leave with
- A First 10 Days routines plan (entry → do now → transitions → exit tickets)
- A AUS/VC2-aligned unit skeleton (UbD-style) and a one-page lesson planner
- A quick-start differentiation menu and questioning stems
- A formative assessment pack (hinge questions, success criteria, mini-rubrics)
Who it’s for
Graduate and early-career Primary and Secondary teachers, mentors, and APs supporting induction who want a practical, confidence-building toolkit for 2026
