Through regular professional learning over the year\, each early career teacher will receive ongoing support focused on establishing positive relationships and learning environments\, as the foundation for effective learning.  Exploration of their pedagogical toolbox aims to link effective teaching strategies and the architecture of a lesson.\n\nAn essential component is the school assigned mentor – who will work alongside their early career teacher as they journey from Graduate to Proficient.  The thoughtful pairing of mentor and early career teacher by schools sets them up for success. Mentors will be supported in this important role through attendance at one professional learning day along with video conferencing opportunities.\n\n‘Induction is most effective where there is a strong culture of collaboration and professional growth and where effective processes are in place for all teachers to give and receive feedback on\, and evidence about\, performance and be challenged and supported to learn.’ AITSL 2016\n\nProgram Outline \n\nWorkshop 1: Welcome to the profession\, beginning the journey from graduate to proficient\nWorkshop 2: Maximising the mentor – mentee relationship\nWorkshop 3: Building positive student relationships and environments for learning\nWorkshop 4: Connecting the pedagogical toolbox with the architecture of a lesson\nWorkshop 5: Professional collaboration – proficiency and beyond\n\nEarly Career Teachers participate in the entire series.\nMentor teachers attend Workshop 2 and then receive support throughout the year via Zoom video conferencing.\n\nRegistration for this five-day series will incur a fee of $550.00 plus GST per participant.  Participants are required to register for all sessions in the series and may not attend single days:\n\nDates and times\nFriday 28 February\, 9.30am to 3.30pm\nMonday 16 March\, 9.30am to 3.30pm\nFriday 29 May\, 9.30am to 3.30pm\nFriday 7 August\, 9.30am to 3.30pm\nFriday 11 September\, 9.30am to 3.30pm\n\n \;\n\nTarget Group\n\nIndependent school primary and secondary teachers in their first three years of teaching.\n\n \;\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.\n\n \; CATEGORIES:Professional Learning LOCATION:Association of Independent Schools of SA\, 128 Greenhill Road\, Unley\, SA\, 5061\, Australia GEO:-34.9601578;138.60864300000003 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=128 Greenhill Road\, Unley\, SA\, 5061\, Australia;X-APPLE-RADIUS=100;X-TITLE=Association of Independent Schools of SA:geo:-34.9601578,138.60864300000003 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:230@ais.sa.edu.au DTSTART;TZID=Australia/Adelaide:20200317T160000 DTEND;TZID=Australia/Adelaide:20200317T180000 DTSTAMP:20200416T070906Z URL:https://www.ais.sa.edu.au/events/early-years-language-development-prov iding-language-rich-environments-young-children-session-1/ SUMMARY:Cancelled - Early Years Language Development: Providing Language Rich Environments for Young Children\, session 1 DESCRIPTION: \;\n\nEarly language development plays a critical role in supporting children’s overall development. How young children develop and understand language is a complex topic and is one of the key developmental milestones of early childhood. Language allows children to identify and communicate feelings\, needs and emotions to others. Learning to understand\, use and enjoy language is the critical first step in literacy\, and the basis for learning to read and write.\n\nSession 1: Understanding how young children learn skills to communicate and form language is essential to supporting their development and future language learning skills\n\nStephi West\, Speech Pathologist will address key areas in early language development including:\n\n engaging children with language from birth to develop strong literacy skills and to further develop knowledge of early literacy and language development\n parent/family engagement to develop ways to 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 supporting students with additional needs including autism spectrum disorders\, global developmental delay\, syndrome disorders and other intellectual disabilities. Her approach is based on practical\, everyday integration of core communication skills\, as well as involving the environment and relationships to build functional language\, vocabulary and interaction. Stephi has extensive experience in the areas of language development\, behaviour support\, foundational skills of communication\, alternative communication 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.

As part of this workshop\, teachers will have an opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of some of the ways these elaborations can be integrated into the Science curriculum. There are 49 new elaborations for Years 7-10 making a total of 53 in the refined Science curriculum. We will focus in depth on a small number so that there are opportunities to consider how the concepts behind these Science activities can be integrated into learning designs.\n“The elaborations acknowledge that Aboriginal Peoples and Torres Strait Islander Peoples 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 incorporated into teaching core scientific concepts”. (ACARA 2018)\nThe refined Science curriculum now has 108 Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander elaborations\, an increase of 95. These elaborations demonstrate the connection between the core Science concepts and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander histories and cultures.

DESCRIPTION:Young children are naturally curious about STEM concepts in coming to terms with the world around them. Join Laureate Professor Marilyn Fleer as she transports us into the Conceptual PlayWorld (a play-based and innovative model of intentional teaching) where young children embark on imaginary journeys to solve challenges through STEM concepts. “If you develop children’s imagination through play\, you are actually developing their foundational capacity to be thinking abstractly and to imagine concepts – because a lot of concepts are very imaginary.”\nLaureate Professor Marilyn Fleer began her career as an early childhood educator\, having experience in long day care\, preschool\, and later in the professional learning of STEM for teachers in the birth to the end of school sector. She is passionate about play\, intentional teaching of STEM\, and in designing imaginative and inspiring play programs. Her research at Monash University is funded by the Australian Research Council\, and has been recognised nationally through being the first women in education to be bestowed the award of an ARC Laureate Fellow in 2018.\n\nMarilyn holds the Foundation Chair in Early Childhood Education and Development at Monash\, where she's also a Kathleen Fitzpatrick Australian Laureate Fellow. She researches in the areas of early childhood science\, engineering and technologies\, with particular attention on digital visual methodology framed through cultural-historical theory.

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 teachers and students began this learning with very little prior knowledge of AI.\n\nMartin Richards (Education Services Australia)\, Leonie Shapter (Woodcroft College)\, Ethan Wildman (Pilgrim School) and Libby Spencer (Pilgrim School) will share how they developed their knowledge and understanding of AI to create units of work that enabled their students to successfully navigate the incredible world of Artificial Intelligence.\n\nThe Woodcroft College students developed 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 connection 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 learning and how to categorise emojis. They developed sophisticated content mastery 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 able to articulate why it was important for a large data set to help ‘teach’ the machine\, and that developing ‘prototypes’ and ‘controls’ were an integral part of the cyclic process of machine teaching.\n\nMartin Richards is a Content Manager at Education Services Australia (ESA) and leads the Content development for the Digital Technologies Hub. Martin has led the development of resources to support teachers to implement Digital Technologies. In his most recent work\, Martin has collaborated with experts in the field of Artificial Intelligence to develop innovative lessons to enable teachers to deliver this exciting area into their classrooms.\n\n2022 sessions:\n\n8 March\, 4.00 pm – 5.00 pm\n17 May\, 4.00 pm – 5.00 pm\n7 June\, 4.00 pm – 5.00 pm\n9 August\, 4.00 pm – 5.00 pm\n23 August\, 4.00 pm – 5.00 pm\n1 November\, 4.00 pm – 5.00 pm\n\n \;\n\nTarget audience – STEM professionals\, teachers and school leaders\n\nDelivery mode – Zoom\n\nPresenters – Guest presenters\, and Aleida Mabarrack\, Senior Educational Consultant\, AISSA\n\n \;\n\nFor registration enquiries please contact Emily Metelmann.\n\nA Zoom link will be sent closer to the event CATEGORIES:Professional Learning END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:554@ais.sa.edu.au DTSTART;TZID=Australia/Adelaide:20220309T093000 DTEND;TZID=Australia/Adelaide:20220309T113000 DTSTAMP:20220307T052555Z URL:https://www.ais.sa.edu.au/events/supporting-responding-children-challe nging-behaviours-early-learning-contexts-session-1/ SUMMARY:Supporting and Responding to Children with Challenging Behaviours in Early Learning Contexts\, session 1 DESCRIPTION:The early childhood sector has identified an ongoing need to better respond to and support children with identified behavioural difficulties and/or disability in early childhood environments.

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. It will provide a forum to share ideas and practice with a wider international community of learners\, practitioners\, learning organisations\, 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 the future.\n\n \;\n\nTarget audience – primary and secondary educators and school leaders\n\nDelivery mode – face to face\n\nPresenters – Michael Bunce\, University of East London\, Charles Leadbeater\, and the ALab and MetaPraxis School teams\n\n \;\n\nFor registration enquiries please contact Rae Dawkins.

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.

Leaders who are interested in becoming an assessor can contact Mary Pickett for more information.\n\nTo achieve certification as a HALT\, applicants are required to:\n\n have support and endorsement from their Principal\n engage in professional learning that involves reflecting on their own practice and self and peer review\n demonstrate an understanding of what quality teaching is based on the advanced career stages of the APST and the Classroom Practice Continuum.\n prepare an annotated collection of evidence of practice at the HALT career stage which demonstrates achievement of the Standards and their impact on student outcomes and the practice of colleagues.\n\nA series of three workshops is offered each semester to support applicants understand the requirements of the process and how to collect\, curate and annotate evidence of practice at the HALT career stage. Applicants are required to complete all three workshops in sequence within a 12-month timeframe.\n\nIn-school information sessions\, advice and support are also provided for leaders and mentors with a potential central workshop in 2022.\n\nFurther information can be found on the AISSA and AITSL Certification webpages or contact Mary Pickett.\n\n2022 dates:\n\n\n\nSemester 1\nSemester 2\n\n\nWorkshop A: 10 March\, 4.00 pm – 6.00 pm (Zoom)\nWorkshop A: 2 August\, 4.00 pm – 6.00 pm (Zoom)\n\n\nWorkshop B: 29 April\, 9.00 am – 3.00 pm (face to face)\nWorkshop B: 23 August\, 9.00 am – 3.00 pm (face to face)\n\n\nWorkshop C: 21 June\, 9.00 am – 3.00 pm (face to face)\nWorkshop C: 13 October\, 9.00 am – 3.00 pm (face to face)\n\n\n\n \;\n\nTarget audience – aspiring Highly Accomplished or Lead Teachers (HALT) - applicants must have their Principal’s endorsement and meet eligibility and suitability requirements\n\nDelivery mode – face to face and Zoom\n\nPresenters – Mary Pickett\, Senior Educational Consultant\, AISSA\n\n \;\n\nFor registration enquiries please contact Rae Dawkins.\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.

Teacher presenters\, in partnership with an Aboriginal Elder\, will share how student learning of scientific concepts can be enriched by embedding perspectives from our First Australians.  This professional learning supports the AITSL 1.4 and 2.4 professional standards for teachers and provides guidance in how educators can embed First Nations' perspectives in exciting and innovative ways into classroom learning that promotes reconciliation.\n\nAs part of this workshop\, participants will be given an overview of the ACARA Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Elaborations Foundation – Year 6 with explicit links to the Early Years Learning Framework. Educators will have an opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of some of the ways these elaborations can be integrated into rich\, scientific learning experiences. This workshop will focus in depth on some of the elaborations and consider how the concepts behind these science activities can be transferred across learning areas. By exploring 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 elaborations acknowledge that Aboriginal Peoples and Torres Strait Islander Peoples 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 incorporated into teaching core scientific concepts”. (ACARA 2018) \n\nThe Science curriculum has over the years increased the number of elaborations that demonstrate the connection between the core science concepts and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander histories and cultures. The elaborations are spread over the three interrelated fields of the Science Curriculum: Science Understanding\, Science as a Human Endeavour and Science Inquiry Skills.\n\n \;\n\nTarget audience – ELC - Year 6 educators\, directors of learning\, Science and STEM coordinators\n\nDelivery mode – face to face\n\nPresenters – Uncle Tamaru\, Kate Mount\, Specialist Reconciliation Consultant\, AISSA\, Monica Williams\, Senior Educational Consultant\, AISSA\, St Peter's Girls' School ELC\, Pulteney Grammar School\, Immanuel College and Southern Montessori School\n\n \;\n\nFor registration enquiries please contact Rae Dawkins.\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.

How does education need to change if in our present we acknowledge that we are accelerating at unprecedented speed towards a different future?\n\nThis webinar does not provide answers\, but instead throws down challenges for all of us as educators and questions what we understand the future to be and how we understand our role as educators\, as agents of change.\n\nThis webinar will presented by Emeritus Professor Louise McWhinnie.\n\nLouise McWhinnie is an Emeritus Professor\, previously the inaugural Dean of the Faculty of Transdisciplinary Innovation at The University of Technology Sydney (UTS).

With its significant integration of industry\, industry partners\, staff and students\, work is undertaken to address wicked\, complex and connected problems beyond the boundaries of singular disciplines. Such educational innovation has resulted in a growing number of awards.\n\nLouise’s own research and its integration into teaching has resulted in national and university awards and citations. She has also undertaken print\, radio and TV interviews\, and delivered keynotes\, masterclasses and presentations in London\, Singapore\, Hong Kong\, Beijing\, Auckland\, Istanbul\, Washington DC\, Chicago and Boston (amongst many others)\, as well as keynote presentations for schools\, businesses and educational associations within NSW and across Australia.\n\n \;\n\nTarget audience – STEM professionals\, teachers and school leaders\n\nDelivery mode – Zoom\n\nPresenters – Emeritus Professor Louise McWhinnie\, and Aleida Mabarrack\, Senior Educational Consultant\, AISSA\n\n \;\n\nFor registration enquiries please contact Emily Metelmann.\n\nA Zoom link will be sent closer to the event\n\n \; CATEGORIES:Professional Learning END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:646@ais.sa.edu.au DTSTART;TZID=Australia/Adelaide:20221103T090000 DTEND;TZID=Australia/Adelaide:20221103T120000 DTSTAMP:20221102T014153Z URL:https://www.ais.sa.edu.au/events/mid-year-intake-option-1-face-to-face / SUMMARY:Mid-Year Intake Option 1 Face to face DESCRIPTION:The South Australian Department for Education will be offering a mid-year intake for new Foundation students in 2024 which will be preceded by a 2023 mid-year intake for eligible students in Department for Education Kindergartens and Preschools.\n\nThis workshop will provide an opportunity for Principals\, Business Managers\, Heads of School and ELC Directors/Manager to come together to discuss key areas of the potential impact of these moves on future ELC and Foundation intake arrangements and on current intake policy and processes.

Many school staff wellbeing initiatives that address high levels of work-related stress are well-intentioned but often focus only on boosting morale. While this is a useful starting point\, to be effective staff wellbeing strategies need to be embedded in school culture and prioritised to ensure they are adequately funded and resourced.\n\nJoin Professor Donna Cross OAM\, respected behavioural scientist and Emeritus Professor at the University of Western Australia as she presents two dynamic webinars unpacking quality national and international evidence showing the benefits and value of schools actively engaging families in the development of students’ learning and wellbeing. 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.
