Can we redefine the relationship between material, humans, and the environment? Our species has left a huge mark on our planet. This project challenges expectations surrounding the materials that form the foundation of existing design norms. We can design and educate our way out of our dependence on oil, gas, bricks, plastic, and steel, but it requires exposing students to radical new means of production.

The value of the school library is often overlooked or marginalised. The presentation will give attendees an insider track on getting the most out of this sometimes hidden resource.

Leading complex pedagogical change in schools requires patience for the slow and messy nature of the work, respectful and trusting relationships with people, listening with curiosity and authenticity, and respect for context and history.

This workshop will offer a refreshing, new assessment paradigm, to complement and challenge the orthodoxy of traditional assessment in schools - one that is based on listening and responding to the individual story of each student.

In this highly interactive, hands-on workshop we will explore how you can use Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools in harmony with iMovie to create spectacular and thought-provoking visuals and presentations.

This session will look at how well-being was made a focus of a distance learning art program and how this led to more intentional social-emotional learning opportunities for students upon their return to in-person school.

In this presentation, I will discuss the inequities in the English publishing industry and what that translates into the books that we see on international school library shelves.

I will present how I incorporated Universal Design for Learning strategies into a unit on Government Types by teaching with the combination of Pear Deck and MineCraft.

At Mindful Sparks, we’ve observed how a lack of structured mindfulness practice can impact individuals and communities in schools.
