This work has been documented in two CSE publications and a podcast series which will b e launched by Mr Anthony Mackay AM.\n\nThe ALab findings are presented as 10 Lessons of Student Agency - takeaways that explore what it means to be an agency school and agency as philosophy\, product and practice. The Meta Praxis project has explored ways to originate\, grow and embed interdiscip linary approaches and developed tools to narrate learning and document lea rning impact.\n\nThe research has raised broader questions about ways to r ecognise holistic student learning\; three significant strands\, agency\, transfer\, and wellbeing have consistently emerged as ongoing questions ac ross the projects. These issues will form the basis of an exciting new res earch project which will be launched at the Symposium\, supported by inter national experts in this field\, that will enable our schools to further c ontribute to an important global debate about learning and recognition.\n\ nThis symposium represents a significant opportunity to engage with the co mmunity of practice\, research and innovation\, which has emerged through the leading-edge work of schools involved in the Student Agency and MetaPr axis projects. It will provide a forum to share ideas and practice with a wider international community of learners\, practitioners\, learning organ isations\, schools\, universities\, researchers\, academics\, and thought leaders – the voices of those leading work to transform and innovate at scale education philosophies\, practices\, systems\, and structures for th e future.\n\n \;\n\nTarget audience – primary and secondary educator s and school leaders\n\nDelivery mode – face to face\n\nPresenters – M ichael Bunce\, University of East London\, Charles Leadbeater\, and the AL ab and MetaPraxis School teams\n\n \;\n\nFor registration enquiries pl ease contact Rae Dawkins.

A core part of this happens in the relationshi p between the Board and the school leadership\, and the signals that the B oard’s interactions send about what ‘good’ looks like\, what is expe cted\, what is celebrated and what is taboo. The relationship between the Board and Principal and by extension\, the school’s stakeholders\, has a huge bearing on the ability of a school to adapt and thrive. There is a g rowing appreciation that the quality of this relationship\, given the dire ct influence of Principal leadership\, represents an integral ingredient i n the formation of school culture.\n\nA Board’s internal culture has pro found implications for the collective culture and ultimately the adaptive capacity of the school it oversees. Only through surfacing\, understanding and progressing its own culture can a Board truly shape the culture of a school. To work on progressing culture\, a Board needs to have a deep appr eciation of the culture necessary to respond to and navigate the challenge s and opportunities it faces (its aspirational culture) and the ability to identify where it is currently operating (its current culture).\n\nThis w orkshop will build on the session presented by David Runge and Andrew Brow n at the 2021 AISSA Governance Conference and will enable Boards to reflec t on their current culture and to identify their aspirational culture usin g a range of approaches\, tools\, and frameworks.\n\nDavid Runge will also be available for contract by individual school boards to undertake a revi ew of culture and to plan a pathway to the future.\n\nDavid Runge Co-Found er and Director of Future Schools \n\nCo-founder and Director of Future Sc hools\, an organisation committed to the future of schooling and innovatio n in education\, David collaborates with numerous schools\, universities\, Education Departments\, and corporate organisations to implement innovati on and deliver cultural change. He is passionate about evolving organisati ons so that they are more adaptive and future focussed\; therefore\, bette r able to meet the needs of a changing social landscape.\n\nDavid has work ed with numerous executive teams to lead whole school change initiatives.
