The College practices and encourages teachers to employ Visible Learning methods. Visible Learning encompasses the idea that student learning needs to be made 'visible' to teachers, so they are able to evaluate the effectiveness of their teaching methods and that teaching is 'visible' to students, so they are able to become their own teachers, a pivotal aspect of becoming lifelong learners. Visible Learning encourages educators to evaluate their own teaching methods to see learning through the eyes of the student. Student voice and outcomes is the foundation of everything we do at the College.
