Description:

This project ‘taster’ and curated discussion presented by co-founders of 4C Transformative Learning, Professor Michael Anderson (The University of Sydney) and Dr Miranda Jefferson will provide insights into this exciting new two-year project now commencing in February 2021.  The session will be offered via Zoom.

In this session Professor Michael Anderson and Dr Miranda Jefferson will share the vision, aims and learning involved in this project, while a curated discussion with Principals currently engaged in this work, will provide an authentic overview of implementation with specific examples of successes and challenges.

Even before this present crisis there was much discussion in schools, schooling systems nationally and internationally about the need to transform. 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)

This 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.

Through 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.

The revised Project Brief with new dates for this project has been distributed to Principals.
