Teaching & Learning Framework

We were very excited to have launched our Teaching & Learning Framework. It is an essential framework for ensuring consistent, high-quality education that aligns with a school’s Strategic Plan, Vision, Values, and Goals. It provides a structured approach to how teaching is delivered and how students learn effectively. Here’s why it is crucial:

1. Ensures Consistency Across All Classrooms

• Establishes clear expectations for teaching practices.

• Provides a unified approach, ensuring students receive equitable learning experiences.

2. Aligns Teaching with School Vision & Values

• At Christway College, a framework ensures that teaching remains Christ-centered and fosters academic excellence and faith development.

• Helps educators integrate biblical principles into pedagogy.

3. Supports Teacher Development & Accountability

• Give all staff shared language and approach to professional growth.

• Helps mentor new teachers by providing clear guidelines on effective teaching practices.

• Encourages reflective practice and continuous improvement.

4. Improves Student Learning Outcomes

• Provides a scaffolded approach to ensure progression in knowledge and skills.

• Ensuring rigorous curriculum content and supporting mastery learning of skill development.
• Incorporates best-practice strategies in mastery, differentiation, assessment, and engagement.
• Ensures students are challenged appropriately and supported where needed.

5. Encourages Innovative & Research-Based Teaching

• Allows schools to embed the latest educational research into practice.

• Encourages the use of evidence-based strategies such as formative assessment, Understanding By Design, inquiry-based learning and active engagement.

• Encourages the use of evidence-based strategies - with formative and summative assessment, inquiry-based learning, and active engagement.

• Focus on 21st Century Capabilities – the 6 Cs (Character, Citizenship, Collaboration, Communication, Creativity, and Critical Thinking)

6. Creates a Culture of Excellence & Continuous Improvement

• Sets high expectations for both teachers and students, and all staff.

• Promotes a growth mindset where learning is ongoing.

A Teaching & Learning Framework focuses on empowering our community to deliver Christ-centered, effective, and engaging education that prepares students for success.

There will be further documentation to support the framework:

• Staff Appraisal

• Teaching and Learning Philosophy

• How it impacts each section of the school/faculties.

There is also a biblical links and Parables centre throughout the Framework.
