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.

Leadership in our schools has never been more important. Transitions, burnout, and a global teacher shortage are just a few challenges facing school leaders today. Recent research suggests changing dispositions are needed to lead effectively. So, what does the academic literature on leadership say about how we work in schools? How might we utilize findings from outside the field of education to be more effective in our schools? Join me for a guided discussion on connecting research-based practices to how we might lead more effectively in schools.

The presentation highlights the pivotal role of schools in cultivating a healthy and confident self-identity among students.
