The BEACON Model

A practical, flexible, evidence-informed framework to decolonise and diversify teaching — built around five principles, four domains of change, and three foundational supports.

The BEACON model is symbolised by a beacon on top of a lighthouse, offering guidance for those navigating a complex pedagogical terrain. The six letters of the word BEACON represent key ideas in the model—the five principles of inclusive practice (Belonging, Equity, Agency, Critical Disruption and Openness), and the foundational pillars involved in Navigation.
