Boards need to be acutely aware of the new political\, economic\, and social environments in which schools are now operating\, what is likely to change and strategies to respond. This webinar will address issues arising out of the pandemic and provide a series of provocations for boards to consider.\n\nValerie Hannon considers that challenges and difficulties experienced during the pandemic can also be sources of motivation for creativity and entrepreneurial thinking that boards should harness and exploit.\n\nValerie has framed possible actions over three horizons which boards should consider: respond\, in which an organisation deals with the present situation and manages continuity\; post peak transitioning\, during which a an organisation learns and emerges stronger\; and reimagine\, where the organisation prepares for and shapes a different future.\n\nThis presentation will assist Board members to think strategically about the impact of the pandemic now and into the future.\n\n \;\n\n This session will be conducted virtually via Zoom.\n\n \;\n\nTarget audience: Board Chairs\, Board members\, Business Managers and Principals\n\n \;\n\nPresenter: Valerie Hannon\n\nValerie Hannon is Co-founder and Board Director of the highly regarded Innovation Unit\, UK and an expert adviser to the OECD\, Co-founder Global Education Leaders Partnership (GELP) expert contributor to WISE\, author of Thrive: Schools Reinvented for the Real Challenges We Face (2017) and Local Learning Ecosystems: Emerging Models (2019).

This Interactive session will explore how transformation is a deep learning process. Using the learning disposition wheel outlined in Transforming Schools and the 4C Coherence Makers we discuss how deeper learning can be achieved through an understanding of the dispositions for learning and a coherent understanding of creativity\, critical reflection\, collaboration and communication and how these capacities enable effective transformation. The session will provide opportunities to explore these coherence makers through authentic application to your specific school context. (Anderson and Jefferson\, 2020)\nThis project is a collaboration between AISSA and Professor Michael Anderson\, Academic Leader and Dr Miranda Jefferson\, Innovative Practice Leader and co-founders of 4C Transformative Learning. \n\nThrough participation in this project Principals and their project teams will be supported by 4C Transformative Learning and AISSA Consultants in using unique evidence-driven processes and products that have the potential to transform learning and schools in response to the emerging needs of students.\n\nThe revised Project Brief with new dates for this project has been distributed to Principals.\n\n \;\nBiographies \nAcademic Leader\n\nProfessor Michael Anderson is an internationally recognised educational leader. He has taught\, researched and published in education and transformation for over 20 years including 13 books and 55 book chapters and journal articles. His international research and practice focus on how the 4Cs can be integrated using coherent frameworks to make learning meet the needs of 21st Century learners\n\nInnovative Practice Leader\n\nDr Miranda Jefferson has been involved in leading innovation in schools for over 20 years. She leads programs\, initiatives and research in curriculum reform\, educational change and school transformation.

School Principals must embrace and be prepared to drive the improvement process.\n\nIn 2021 AISSA is offering a high impact school improvement program designed to support Principals and their leadership teams to undertake a structured process of school evaluation and review. Using the AISSA High Impact School Improvement Tool\, consultants will support school teams to undertake a self- assessment to enable each school to design and deliver a pathway forward and to measure impact in one of the key domains of the tool.\n\nThis is a one-year program. It will comprise face to face workshops and in-school support. The work will culminate with a validation experience where an expert panel will be presented with the school’s work\, consider the progress made and provide suggestions for next steps.\n\nSchool leadership teams are strongly encouraged to participate in a process which will build the individual school’s capacity for evaluation and improvement and strengthen school -based practices for planning\, implementation and evaluation.\n\nIt is anticipated this program will build the professional capital of the Independent sector and lead to the enrichment of the School Improvement Tool as schools provide case studies recording the diversity of the improvement processes undertaken.\n\nThe series will be presented by Duncan Rintoul who has over 20 years experience in research and evaluation consultancy. A mixed-methodologist\, he holds a PhD from the University of Wollongong\, a Master of Policy Studies from UNSW and a BSc in Applied Economic Geography\, also from UNSW.\n\nDuncan has served on the board of the Australian Evaluation Society (2012-16) and is recognised by the AMSRS as a Qualified Practicing Researcher.  From 2015-19 he initiated and led a major evaluation capacity building project in the NSW Department of Education.\n\nSessions in this series:\n16 June\, 9.00 am – 3.30 pm\n4 August\, 9.00 am – 3.30 pm\n24 September\, 9.00 am – 3.30 pm\n15 November\, 9.00am - 3.30pm\nValidation panels TBC\n\n \;\n\nTarget audience: School leadership teams\n\nDelivery mode: face to face (Opportunity for regional schools to join by Zoom)\n\nPresenters: Duncan Rintoul\, Director\, Rooftop Social\n\nRegistrations close: 21 May 2021\n\n \;\n\nIMPORTANT NOTICE: \n\nDue to current COVID-19 restrictions the AISSA is required to enforce set limits on the number of attendees for this event based on social distancing and maximum density rules.  To secure your place please complete the registration as attendance at the AISSA office without a confirmed place may result in being turned away if the event is at capacity.\n\nThere is no on-site parking available.  For parking options please refer to the parking map.  Tram stop #1 Greenhill Road is a 6-minute walk away.\n\nFor registration enquiries please contact Deb Virgo.

The 2021 Governance Virtual Conference will focus on the role of school boards in creating and sustaining high levels of wellbeing in their communities.\n\nIt is widely accepted that wellbeing affects students’ engagement with learning\, their social and emotional behaviour and their overall satisfaction with life. However\, what is perhaps less well understood\, is the Board’s role in supporting the Principal and school leaders to build a community of practice that fosters wellbeing and builds social capital within their school community. The way in which the Board supports the wellbeing of the Principal\, for example\, will have a direct effect on staff and student wellbeing.\n\nKeynote Speakers\n\nTUESDAY 26 OCTOBER  7.00PM - 8.30PM\nDr Helen Street\nSupporting Principals and Thriving School Communities with Contextual Wellbeing\nDr Helen Street\, Honorary Research Fellow\, Graduate School of Education\, University of Western Australia and author of Contextual Wellbeing - Dr Street will explore contemporary issues and research that will develop Board members’ understanding about ways to support school and community wide approaches to wellbeing.  She will also explore how Boards can better support Principal and school leader wellbeing\, as a vital foundation to building wellbeing across their school communities.\n\nTHURSDAY 4 NOVEMBER 7.00PM - 8.30PM\nMr David Runge and Mr Andrew Brown\nWhat is the Board's Role in Influencing Culture and the Wellbeing of the School?\nDavid Runge\, Director\, Future Schools and Andrew Brown\, Director\, Adaptive Cultures - Mr Runge and Mr Brown will demonstrate how Board culture impacts the health and wellbeing of the school.\n\nPanel Discussion\n\nTUESDAY 9 NOVEMBER 7.00PM - 8.30PM\nMrs Carolyn Grantskalns\, Mr Anthony Mackay AM\, Ms Fiona Hutton and Mr David Runge\nThe conference will conclude with a panel discussion focusing on Board processes that build whole school wellbeing.

This work has been documented in two CSE publications and a podcast series which will be 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 MetaPraxis project has explored ways to originate\, grow and embed interdisciplinary approaches and developed tools to narrate learning and document learning impact.\n\nThe research has raised broader questions about ways to recognise holistic student learning\; three significant strands\, agency\, transfer\, and wellbeing have consistently emerged as ongoing questions across the projects. These issues will form the basis of an exciting new research project which will be launched at the Symposium\, supported by international experts in this field\, that will enable our schools to further contribute to an important global debate about learning and recognition.\n\nThis symposium represents a significant opportunity to engage with the community of practice\, research and innovation\, which has emerged through the leading-edge work of schools involved in the Student Agency and MetaPraxis projects.

A core part of this happens in the relationship between the Board and the school leadership\, and the signals that the Board’s interactions send about what ‘good’ looks like\, what is expected\, 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 growing appreciation that the quality of this relationship\, given the direct influence of Principal leadership\, represents an integral ingredient in the formation of school culture.\n\nA Board’s internal culture has profound 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 appreciation of the culture necessary to respond to and navigate the challenges and opportunities it faces (its aspirational culture) and the ability to identify where it is currently operating (its current culture).\n\nThis workshop will build on the session presented by David Runge and Andrew Brown at the 2021 AISSA Governance Conference and will enable Boards to reflect on their current culture and to identify their aspirational culture using a range of approaches\, tools\, and frameworks.\n\nDavid Runge will also be available for contract by individual school boards to undertake a review of culture and to plan a pathway to the future.\n\nDavid Runge Co-Founder and Director of Future Schools \n\nCo-founder and Director of Future Schools\, an organisation committed to the future of schooling and innovation in education\, David collaborates with numerous schools\, universities\, Education Departments\, and corporate organisations to implement innovation and deliver cultural change. He is passionate about evolving organisations so that they are more adaptive and future focussed\; therefore\, better able to meet the needs of a changing social landscape.\n\nDavid has worked with numerous executive teams to lead whole school change initiatives. He is passionate about self-authorship and co-constructed education\, and imagines a world of purpose-filled\, empowered learning.\n\nWith extensive knowledge in foresight\, culture and innovation\, and as an Adaptive Cultures practitioner\, David supports schools to meet their strategic agendas by collaborating with both Boards and leaderships teams to deliver cultural evolution and organisational adaptation.\n\nTarget audience – board members and school leaders\n\nDelivery mode – face to face\n\nPresenters – David Runge\, Future Schools\n\nFor registration enquiries please contact Emily Metelmann.\n\nThere is no on-site parking available.  For parking options please refer to the parking map.  Tram stop #1 Greenhill Road is a 6-minute walk away.

Many school staff wellbeing initiatives that address high levels of work-related stress are well-intentioned but often focus only on boosting morale.

These benefits include students’ higher academic achievement\, increased confidence and motivation\, improved school attendance\, enhanced wellbeing and mental health\, higher likelihood of graduation\, improved positive attitudes about school and improved behaviour.\n\nThe first one-hour webinar ‘Empowering school staff wellbeing: Strategies for success’ will address systematic evidence-driven strategies and considerations for improving school staff wellbeing that address organisational and interpersonal factors\, not just individual coping skills. It will address the importance of:\n\n a holistic approach to all staff wellbeing that includes systemic change\n the role of leadership\n mental health promotion and support\n self-care and wellbeing initiatives tailored to the needs of staff.\n\nThe second webinar ‘Enhancing school staff’s positive engagement with students and families’ will provide a brief overview of evidence-based practical strategies found to improve partnerships and positive engagement with families to support students’ wellbeing\, and therefore achievement.  It will also briefly address actions that can be taken to support school staff when parent relationships may not be positive. \n\nEnquiries: please contact Rae Dawkins.\n\nTerms and Conditions: Registration for this series will incur the fee detailed above.
