Guidelines

3Doors^® is a complex learning/teaching model covering emotional, social and cognitive dimensions of learning and embracing many skills and strategies. It has been extensively and successfully trialled over five years of research.

The notion of all learning being driven by the twenty Learning Actions in their AIM CLAIM FRAME groupings is simple. But simple is not easy! Each of the Learning Actions needs to be coached. The easiest way for teachers to find out how to learn to integrate 3Doors^® is to participate in the training. If this is not possible, teachers can navigate their way through the model using the following suggestions:

Start by understanding what aspects of learning the three doors stand for.
Use the Learning Actions and click on the links to see the frames which teachers adapt to coach these actions, and the Curriculum Cases, which show the relevant learning action in use by teachers at various levels in New Zealand classrooms. You will see that some of these Curriculum Cases are adaptations of English Online units and NEMP tasks. This is intended to illustrate that information literacy learning is integral to classroom-based learning, and that teachers can adapt existing teaching units to emphasise information literacy outcomes by adding some of the Learning Actions.
Use the designer frame and select which phase you intend to focus on and which Learning Actions you intend to coach.
Go back to the Learning Actions you have selected and look at the linked frames and curriculum cases, and try to visualise what you will do and what your students will do.

If you are struggling, use some of the prompts to kickstart your thinking.
