​Teaching and learning practices at Unity College are aligned with the BCE Model of Pedagogy which brings together the principles and practices of learning and teaching that lead to success for all learners.

BCE Model of Pedagogy

At Unity College we believe in maintaining consistency of research-based teaching practices across all classrooms to reduce the variability of student progress within our school. We believe that effective pedagogy relates to the principles and practices of learning and teaching that lead to success for all learners. These principles arise out of the beliefs and values of the BCE Learning and Teaching Framework, an evidence-based framework upon which teachers can construct their practice to ensure that all students are progressing in their learning and development.

​Effective pedagogy:

• relates to the principles and practices of teaching children
• is teaching that makes learning explicit and leads to successful achievement for all learners
• creates conditions where the relationship between the learning and teaching is focused, generative and responsive - enabling every learner to participate and progress in their academic and social development

 The BCE Model of Pedagogy is used by teachers to guide planning, teaching and assessing by:

• Focusing on student progress and planning to accelerate this
• Establishing clear learning intentions and success criteria from the Australian/Religion Curriculum
• Activating learning and multiple ways through explicit teaching
• Responding with explicit feedback to support the student in their next steps to achieve the success criteria
• ​Evaluating the impact of explicit teaching on each student's learning progress and achievement
