Helping Children to Engage with their Learning- WEBINARS with Tony Ryan (Australia)

Helping Children to Engage with their Learning
Our wishlist in teaching is infinite. As well as asking for plentiful resources, parent support, and enough personal time to simply relax, many of us often place student engagement near the top of that fabled list. This energising webinar will partly help you to progress that wish.

Placed two weeks apart, the sessions will include many practical ideas that focus on classroom environment; and on student intrinsic motivation.

You will be engaging with Tony at a personal level (he loves questions). In particular, the 2nd webinar will debrief on the 1st session, and will clarify how to refine your initial applications. Join us as we explore how to encourage your students to become more involved in their everyday learning… and their life.

Getting Personal with Inquiry Learning – ONLINE with Kath Murdoch

Due to ongoing travel restrictions this workshop will now be online

A  workshop for teachers in primary/middle years who want to take inquiry further and who believe in the power of personal passions!

Participants in this workshop will receive excerpts from Kath’s upcoming book “Getting Personal with Inquiry Learning”

“ Whatever your circumstances, you need to find time to be in your element – to do what gives you energy rather than what takes it from you.” Ken Robinson, 2013

There has been growing interest in ‘personalised learning’ for many years now. Increasingly, schools are making arrangements to provide more opportunities for learners to learn to be self-directed and to have their needs and interests met through the curriculum.  An inquiry-based approach is an approach that recognizes the importance of learner voice and choice and of linking new learning to the existing knowledge, experiences and interests of the learner.

The Art of Inquiry Teaching- ONLINE with Kath Murdoch

Due to ongoing travel restrictions this workshop will now be online
‘The Art of Inquiry Teaching’: a practical workshop exploring the pedagogy of inquiry with Kath Murdoch

What’s it all about?

We have known for a long time now that the key to improving student learning is for teachers themselves to have opportunities to strengthen their own pedagogy. This is no easy feat when we are bombarded with demands that so often fall outside our core work – teaching! This workshop is about turning the spotlight on the complex, fascinating experience of teaching through, for and of inquiry.

Building Learning Power through Inquiry – Guy Claxton and Kath Murdoch (Auckland 2022)

RESCHEDULED TO MARCH 2022
What’s the point of inquiry learning? Is it to engage students more? Is it to have more fun? Is it to find out things that are useful to ourselves, our schools and our communities? Yes – all of these, but there is a deeper purpose: to help children develop the skills and attitudes that enable them to be resilient and resourceful learners in school and out, and for the rest of their lives. We have seen in the COVID-19 crisis that some children already possess these qualities, and have flourished as learners at home. But others have not and have floundered. It’s not fair to leave this to chance. What can we do now, in our schools, to make sure that all our children are lockdown-learning-ready? That’s where Inquiry Learning and the Learning Power Approach fit so well together. In this day of practical strategies and cutting-edge debate, Kath Murdoch and Guy Claxton will explore the future of learning.

ALIVE & WELL: Developing a Learning Eco-system Rich in Wellbeing – Tony Ryan

Feeling tired lately? If you are, then you’re hardly alone. In part due to global upheavals, teachers and school leaders are working longer hours in the midst of increasingly complex issues. Continuing on this pathway will be detrimental to both personal and professional welfare. So, can anything be done about this?

This workshop will practically address how to generate a culture of wellness that is sustainable and productive. You will be offered a powerful range of personal, classroom and staffroom strategies that focus on empathy, enjoyment, energy and emotional resilience… as well as some special processes for ensuring the psychological welfare of all school community members. And especially… this session will help you to feel pride and deep belief in the most important profession on the planet – teaching.

The Habits of Mind are one of the true classics in education. Derived by Art Costa and Bena Kallick, the Habits of Mind describe what the most efficacious learners do when confronted with problems, the solutions to which are not immediately apparent.
For more than 25 years, schools around the world have been working to improve student learning outcomes by infusing the Habits of Mind into their curriculum and classrooms. Over that time we have seen student learning outcomes improve and schools flourish as the Habits of Mind are adopted and lived throughout the school community.

LEARNER AGENCY – a practical school based approach -James Anderson

Learner Agency is fast becoming the latest educational buzzword. It is appearing in educational policy documents around the world, including the New Zealand Key Competencies.
 
But what is “Learner Agency”? Why should school leaders care? How do we support teachers to increase Learner Agency in students, and what tools can we use to guide and measure the impact of our work?
 
It is important for school leaders to understand that agency is not something we can simply give to students. Learner Agency is a capability that needs to be developed by, and within, the learner. Ultimately, learners must carry and continually build their agency throughout their life. And in order to do that, we need a clear school based definition and a set of practical tools and strategies to enable teachers to work meaningfully with these ideas.

The Five Ways of Being program supports leaders in the development of their own leadership style and strengthens their capacity to have a major impact on learning. With many competing demands, it’s easy for leaders to forget that learning lies at the heart of everything they do. Based on the book, Five Ways of Being, this program helps leaders gain an understanding, agreement and clear articulation of what being a learning leader in an organisation looks like, sounds like and feels like.

TEACHER LEADERSHIP – FOR IN-SCHOOL AND ACROSS-SCHOOL LEADERS 2022

In a time of major transition for the education sector, the focus is shifting from teaching to a focus on learning that prepares students for the future. To meet these demands, principals are striving to develop leadership within teacher ranks.

In this professional learning experience, middle leaders will learn how to lead meaningful collaboration, provide feedback to peers and overcome the complexities of leading both colleagues and students at the same time.

Of interest to all leaders who are working hard to balance the demands of their teaching with those of their leadership role, this program equips them with the knowledge and contemporary research-based ideas to use in their work effectively with others. Learning the skills needed to motivate, inspire and guide others sits at the heart of this program.
