What this workshop will explore
These 3 days will explore how education leaders can develop deep learning cultures responsive to their unique school context. We will engage with research in 4C capabilities: Creativity, Critical Reflection, Communication and Collaboration, and unpack how explicitly developing these capabilities is vital for leading your school, college or early learning centre – both in and out of the classroom.
The workshop will involve practical and experiential learning that is challenging and empowering, designed to explore how to make these complex capabilities explicitly teachable, learnable and assessable for teachers and students.
The workshop is inspired by the research detailed in Michael Anderson and Miranda Jefferson’s books, Transforming Education: Reimagining Learning, Pedagogy and Curriculum (2021) and Transforming Schools: Creativity, Critical Reflection, Communication, Collaboration (2017).
This workshop will provide leaders with tangible and actionable deep learning goals, tools and strategies to maximise the potential of their teachers and leaders. It will also create opportunities to meet, collaborate and learn with other like-minded school leaders looking to lead their school cultures into deeper learning.
