SUMMARY:Catalysts for Pedagogical Improvement - General Capability Critical
 & Creative Thinking & National Literacy & Numeracy Learning Progressions
 via Zoom
DESCRIPTION:A professional learning opportunity for leaders of learning:
 School leadership\, Directors of Learning and Teaching\, middle leaders and
 classroom educators\n\nThis professional learning opportunity is designed
 for leaders of learning who are focused on driving improved educational
 practice across their school.\n\nFour catalysts for driving pedagogical
 improvement will be explored during two introductory workshops delivered by
 video conference using the Zoom platform.\n\n1: Learning Design – nudging
 students beyond the learning of facts and skills.\n\nWe want our
 students’ learning to be enduring\, enabling them to make sense of
 complexity now and in the future. For this to occur\, we need to nudge
 students beyond the learning of facts and skills to uncover
 concepts—transferable ideas that transcend time\, place\, and situation.
 (Marschall\, 2019\, Edutopia\, George Lucas\, Educational Foundation\, 9
 Oct. 2019)\n\n 	This “catalyst” will investigate how we design learning
 where the educative purpose is on conceptual understanding and
 transfer.\n\n2: Assessment for Learning\n\n 	The educational gains
 associated with formative assessment have been described as ‘among the
 largest ever reported for educational interventions’ OECD\, 2017\n 	How
 do we effectively design and use assessment to gain insight into what our
 learners understand\, know and can do\, and engage learners in
 their learning?\n\n3: The Australian Curriculum General Capabilities:
 Critical and Creative Thinking\n\n 	How might the explicit teaching
 and embedding of critical and creative thinking throughout learning
 encourage higher order thinking?\n\n4: The National Literacy and Numeracy
 Learning Progressions\n\n 	How do we use the National Progressions to focus
 on our learners and their learning – to gain an understand of where my
 learners are now and to explore future learning opportunities to support
 their growth\n\nSchools will select one of the catalysts to explore further
 in Term 4 within impact hubs and to drive and implement as a pedagogical
 pathway for improvement within the context of their school.\n\nImpact
 hubs\, as communities of practice\, facilitate the sharing of expertise and
 opportunities to provide feedback and consider ways forward. Impact Hub
 meetings will be held via Zoom and dates will be negotiated.\n\nTarget
 Group \n\nLeadership teams across Foundation to Year 10.\n\nDates and
