Program Overview: Education Services Australia (ESA) and The Eventful Learning Co (Eventful). are partnering with AISSA to deliver a practical, evidence-informed professional learning series that strengthens educator capability to embed student partnership in everyday practice. The series builds understanding of the pedagogy of partnership, strengthens improvement mindsets, and equips schools to meaningfully co-design with students in service of learning, wellbeing, and whole-school improvement. 

The program includes a full-day immersion and design workshop, two online coaching clinics to support real-context application, and a full-day integration and scaling session to consolidate learning and plan for sustainable embedding. Participants access partnership tools, inquiry templates, a digital commons, and collaboration opportunities.
