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.

LEARNERSHIP-James Anderson

Learnership is the skill of learning. It represents how students engage in the learning process. Like all skills it is developed over time through the deliberate use of practice and dedicated strategies. It results in the learning gaining more from every learning opportunity. Learnership describes how well a learner engages with 5 key elements of learning: Challenge. Habits of Mind. Mistakes. Feedback, and Effort. Based on a learners relationship with these elements, we identify six different types of learners. 

In this flagship full day workshop, James Anderson will cover the key elements to understanding and developing Learnership in your students. You’ll learn how to help your students become comfortable with this discomfort of challenge, how to develop their Habits of Mind, understand and use the six different types of mistakes effectively, and to tailor their feedback. You’ll be introduced to the Learnership Diagnostic Tool that allows you to accurately measure how skilfully your students engage with learning, and design next steps to improve that!

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.

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

RESCHEDULED TO NOVEMBER 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.

Challenge All Learners – James Nottingham

It is through challenge that we are able to move students out of their comfort zone and into their learning zone (or zone of proximal development)

And yet, so many students actively avoid challenge for fear of getting something wrong, falling behind, or simply because they don’t see the point in putting any effort in. Added to this is the need for differentiation to ensure all students are challenged appropriately – not so much that they can’t access the learning and not so little that they end up repeating things they already know how to do. That is why we created this very company in 1999 and named it Challenging Learning – because of the difficulties we all face in challenging all students appropriately.

Suitable for teachers, leaders and support staff working with students between the ages of 3-19

Embedding Formative Assessment – Dylan Wiliam

There is now a large and growing evidence base that helping teachers develop their use of minute-to-minute and day-by-day assessment is one of, if not the most powerful ways to improve student learning. However, adopting formative assessment, or assessment for learning as it is sometimes called, involves far more than adding a few “quick fixes” to teachers’ classroom repertoires. It involves a fundamental shift in focus, from what the teacher is putting into the process to what the students are getting out of it.

In this interactive workshop, participants will learn what formative assessment is and what it isn’t, when it works and when it doesn’t and find out about the five key strategies of formative assessment, together with over thirty practical techniques for implementing formative assessment in every classroom.

Leadership for Teacher Learning – Dylan Wiliam

There is now substantial evidence that there is a “knowing-doing” gap in education. The problem is not that we do not know how to improve schools. The problem is implementing what is known to work in more classrooms. This is why approaches based on “sharing good practice” have been relatively ineffective. Teachers do not lack knowledge—rather they lack support in putting into practice changes in what they do in their classrooms, and this requires time.

In this interactive workshop, participants will learn how to create more time for teachers to improve their practice, and how leaders can ensure that such time is spent in a way that best benefits their students

Assessment Literacy – Dylan Wiliam

Even the best-designed assessment system needs to be implemented thoughtfully, which requires that all users of assessment evidence have a certain degree of assessment literacy— an understanding of both the meanings and the consequences of educational assessments.

In this interactive workshop, participants will learn what makes some assessments better than others, why student progress measures are almost entirely useless, why most tests will never produce useful diagnostic information on students, and why most school assessment systems do not do the things they are intended to do.

The workshop will include a consideration of how assessments are interpreted, recorded, and reported to key stakeholders, as well as some in-class suggestions for how to get good and quick feedback from students.

What Every Teacher Needs to Know about Learning & Memory- Dylan Wiliam

For many years, most teacher education programmes included substantial coverage of theories on the psychology of education. However, many pre-service teachers did not find these courses helpful, since they offered little more than bland platitudes, or, at the other extreme, provided findings that worked in laboratories, but were difficult or impossible to implement in real classrooms. As a result, many teacher preparation programmes now contain little in the way of educational psychology, which is unfortunate, because over the last thirty years or so, cognitive science has produced deep insights into how humans learn.

In this interactive workshop, Dylan will introduce participants to the latest findings from cognitive science about how we learn and the kinds of things we can do to help our students remember what they are taught for longer.
