Thread (n): A line of reasoning that connects parts in a sequence;
a continuous element; drawn out
On Day 2 we will split into three concurrent sessions, each based on the conference threads. Inspired by SBS Insight, ABC Q&A and Hypothetical’. Each session facilitated in a style that provides input from specialists, hears stories from the trenches and encourages engagement and stories from the audience. The numbers will be limited for each session so like the tours get in first to secure your preference.
You will be invited to select a thread that resonates with you when you register.
Reflection
Seeking to acknowledge the past. Learning from those who have gone before.
Are we throwing the ‘baby out with the bathwater’? Perhaps the pendulum has shifted too far and we are turning our back on the tried and tested approaches to education of the past. Or, has the time come to reinvent the practices of the past and embrace a new paradigm for education?
Relevance
What do current learners need now and into their future, to prepare them for a world that requires a new set of skills, such as innovative thinking, collaboration and creativity.
That line ‘according to research’ is used to justify a position, but what does research really tell us? Many schools have adopted an evidence-based or evidence-informed approach to school design and implementing change. How does evidence impact practice and guide decision
Revolution
What do we need to challenge today, so that we are ready for tomorrow? Revolutionaries can see a future that others can’t even imaging.
Technology, globalisation and AI are disrupting the way we live, work and socialise. Yet for many students their experience of school and learning resembles that of generations before. It is time to abandon incremental change and bring on the revolution.
Be prepared to engage, challenge, be challenged but most importantly join in the conversation.
