Learning focus 1: Setting up for success: building an authentic classroom culture and my teaching practice 

This workshop will explore the ways in which we can create a positive classroom culture and learning environment. Practical strategies will be shared and discussed that put the learner at the centre, including:

• Building relational capacity 
• Developing professional agency
• Promoting learner agency
• Supporting a learning focused culture

Learning focus 2: Responding to the disengaged:  My practice, My context

The more we know about students the better positioned we are to support positive relationships for learning, in particular:

• maximise engaged learning
• minimise disengaged learning
• optimise relationships

Learning focus 3: Data-driven decision making

This session continues to build on student and teacher agency with a particular focus on developing your formative practices and the effective use of data to inform teaching and learning: 

• what evidence do I have about my students?
• where can I get evidence?
• how can I use it?
• what more do I need to know?
• my professional inquiry and my evidence portfolio

Learning focus 4: The wisdom of the collective

This workshop will be an opportunity for: 

• participants to reflect on and share teaching practices that they feel have been successful to effectively engage the learner and improve the learning
