The staff have developed the 'Broadford Secondary College Instructional Model' which is a framework for high quality teaching at BSC, based around current educational research including the High Impact Teaching Strategies (the HITS) and designed within the context of our students and school community. Staff engage in regular and structured professional learning, and work collaboratively with each other in Professional Learning Communities (PLC's). The College has a peer observation structure where staff observe each other to provide feedback and support on teaching practice. Teachers also work in Key Learning Area (KLA) groups to design, document and implement a guaranteed and viable curriculum that is engaging, differentiated and uses ICT effectively as a teaching and learning tool.
