Learning to understa nd\, use and enjoy language is the critical first step in literacy\, and t he basis for learning to read and write.\n\nSession 1: Understanding how y oung children learn skills to communicate and form language is essential t o supporting their development and future language learning skills\n\nStep hi West\, Speech Pathologist will address key areas in early language deve lopment including:\n\n engaging children with language from birth to deve lop strong literacy skills and to further develop knowledge of early liter acy and language development\n parent/family engagement to develop ways t o effectively support their child’s language development\n recommended resources for children\, educators\, parents and primary carers.\n\nStephi West has significant experience in the education sector specialising in s upporting students with additional needs including autism spectrum disorde rs\, global developmental delay\, syndrome disorders and other intellectua l disabilities. Her approach is based on practical\, everyday integration of core communication skills\, as well as involving the environment and re lationships to build functional language\, vocabulary and interaction. Ste phi has extensive experience in the areas of language development\, behavi our support\, foundational skills of communication\, alternative communica tion strategies and combines the theories of well-known methods (including Intensive interaction\, Floortime\, Zones of Regulation\, SOS Approach to Feeding and Circle of Security) to create an individualised ‘toolbox’ approach.

The teachers and students be gan this learning with very little prior knowledge of AI.\n\nMartin Richar ds (Education Services Australia)\, Leonie Shapter (Woodcroft College)\, E than Wildman (Pilgrim School) and Libby Spencer (Pilgrim School) will shar e how they developed their knowledge and understanding of AI to create uni ts of work that enabled their students to successfully navigate the incred ible world of Artificial Intelligence.\n\nThe Woodcroft College students d eveloped a Machine Learning Model using Google’s Teachable Machine that could identify common waste types found in school bins. The purpose was to create a visual model used in conjunction with a Scratch based program to enable students to identify the waste and sort it into the correct bins. While training their machine students learnt about the limitations of data and what they would require to refine their model. Having an authentic co nnection between digital technology\, science and sustainability provided an avenue for students to create a viable solution to a real-life problem. \n\nThe Pilgrim School students developed an understanding of machine lear ning and how to categorise emojis. They developed sophisticated content ma stery of AI in relation to teachable machines and could discuss why it was important for consistency in data for the machine to recognise key facial features to correctly categorise the emoji face. The students were also a ble to articulate why it was important for a large data set to help ‘tea ch’ the machine\, and that developing ‘prototypes’ and ‘controls ’ were an integral part of the cyclic process of machine teaching.\n\nMa rtin Richards is a Content Manager at Education Services Australia (ESA) a nd leads the Content development for the Digital Technologies Hub. Martin has led the development of resources to support teachers to implement Digi tal Technologies.

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. 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 Cult ures practitioner\, David supports schools to meet their strategic agendas by collaborating with both Boards and leaderships teams to deliver cultur al evolution and organisational adaptation.\n\nTarget audience – board m embers and school leaders\n\nDelivery mode – face to face\n\nPresenters – David Runge\, Future Schools\n\nFor registration enquiries please cont act Emily Metelmann.\n\nThere is no on-site parking available.  For parki ng options please refer to the parking map.  Tram stop #1 Greenhill Road is a 6-minute walk away.

This workshop will focus in depth on some of the elaborations and consider how the concepts behind th ese science activities can be transferred across learning areas. By explor ing teaching strategies that sequentially expand a scientific concept from the ELC through to Year 6\, educators will be able to consider a range of approaches to better equip them to differentiate learning.\n\n“The elab orations acknowledge that Aboriginal Peoples and Torres Strait Islander Pe oples have worked scientifically for millennia and continue to contribute to contemporary science. They are scientifically rigorous\, demonstrating how Indigenous history\, culture\, knowledge and understanding can be inco rporated into teaching core scientific concepts”.

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

These benefits include students’ hig her academic achievement\, increased confidence and motivation\, improved school attendance\, enhanced wellbeing and mental health\, higher likeliho od of graduation\, improved positive attitudes about school and improved b ehaviour.\n\nThe first one-hour webinar ‘Empowering school staff wellbei ng: Strategies for success’ will address systematic evidence-driven stra tegies and considerations for improving school staff wellbeing that addres s organisational and interpersonal factors\, not just individual coping sk ills. It will address the importance of:\n\n a holistic approach to all s taff 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 p artnerships and positive engagement with families to support students’ w ellbeing\, and therefore achievement.  It will also briefly address actio ns 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 abov e.
