5. Vision & Planning What does the future hold for our school? What is the role of our school in the future? Why have schools changed so little? Pedagogy Structural elements Budget • Tools & resources: Vision & planning vision - pride and identity resources allocated shared leadership

6. Cohesive Community Students Does every teacher think your school is “A place I would love to send my kids” Parents Need to be on-side and understand your journey Teachers Early adopters Resistors Bi Cohesive Community understanding ownership

7. Resources & organisation Understanding the big picture Access to resources is critical, every classroom, every teacher, every student Space Includes Technical support, reliability, hardware rollover, software Resources Use of space, time and technology

8. Learning & teaching “ As we integrate information and communication technologies into our practice classrooms will only become information rich and learning rich if we attend to all the features which enhance learning in any learning situation.” Julia Atkin Do these things occur in your school? How widespread? How are they valued and assessed? What are the skills that kids need? Learning and Teaching authentic agreed relationships learning processes learning to learn Integrated curriculum Inquiry Learning Active learning Reflective learning Cooperative learning Thinking skills Learning styles Multiple intelligences Visual literacy Emotional intelligence Integrating ICT Habits of the mind Authentic assessment

9. Professional development Emotional – Pedagogical -Technical Just in time, Just now Expectation that ideas will be used in the classroom Linked to review processes Continued up to date access Forget about the kids and worry about the teachers. Unless they are adequately prepared you are wasting your time and…... Money.” Chris Bigum Professional Development brings all areas together

13. Unless a vision is clear, engaging and achievable it will not bring together the ideas and commitments of all stakeholders.

14. Link school communities: Communicate and collaborate in a safe environment Provide high quality, interactive and challenging resources Incorporate potential of new media Home school links are crucial to expand the learning opportunities for all Outside the classroom Build stronger relationships between learners, teachers, parents and the community – in any location Allow teachers to develop, pick and choose from a variety of sources including commercial materials

15. Where to……. Where do we want to travel? Need to provide navigators World has changed Emergence of new landscapes

16. Making choices We must make choices which we way we are to go … ..the already travelled road …… assumptions A new road We will stay on the same pathway unless we look closely at what we are doing

18. Making a Difference Think about education that shows difference Technology will facilitate learning Transformative pedagogy: a commitment to respond and acknowledge diversity Recognise patterns concerning common ways schools respond to difference

19. What did I learn today? My mother will want to know. Tell me what did I learn today, my mother will want to know!

20. Change As we face change we must change our views Future is not what it used to be New concept of ‘school’ Profound changes in the role of the teacher to form new roles

21. Focus Relevant and real Life learning Problem based inquiry Higher order thinking Enterprise or innovation Self direction Care / relationships Creating preferred futures Learning and human development is where the focus should be - key competencies

22. Knowledge producing Schools Negotiated with community Real projects ( Inquiry Learning) Take risks and go down new pathways Acknowledge diversity of students Respond to ICTS Change the old maps

23. Innovation Use different models of learning Provide choices Give opportunities

24. So What? We must work together to achieve our goals in the strategic plan for our school The strategic plan must reflect the changing world not old maps We must ask ourselves ‘What is Powerful Learning?”

25. Julia JJ Model Practices Principles Beliefs And Values

26. Values can be chosen consciously to be a tool that allows us to choose a new set of futures……. What do we believe about how people learn? What do we need to do to improve our practice so that it truly reflects our values and beliefs? Can we as a community possibly reach agreement on our values and beliefs? How can we state our values and beliefs explicitly and specifically?

27. Core Values / Competencies In groups of three look at the key competencies. 3 pair shareback. Collective grouping of what we think is important What would this look like in your school?

28. Classroom of the future See the students in their learning environment. Watch the students involved in learning, see the teacher. Note how the students relate to each other….to the teacher. ( Hattie ) How are the students interacting with technology and learning to learn Share back- note similarities and differences

29. How do each of these technologies change the possibilities for the way we design ‘schooling’? It is really only in the last twenty-five years that new technologies have been developed which are capable of challenging educational practices of the factory era.

30. Values required for the future worker What skills do you believe our students will need when they leave school? Share with a partner Feedback

31. Today’s workers need to forget having a job completely and look instead for work which needs doing and then set themselves up the best way they can to get that work done. William Bridges “Jobshift” How would you feel? What skills and attributes would you need to develop your work in this way? Communication skills Problem solver Teamwork skills Networking skills Know self/self confidence Effective learner Resilience Take risks Initiative Creative & critical thinking Market self Specific skill set Literacy skills ( text, visual, electronic) People management Flexibility/adaptability

32. Beliefs Clarification From the statement arrange yourself on a continuum from strongly disagree to strongly agree. ‘ We value Collaboration. We believe students can and do learn from each other’ Explain why you have placed yourself there … It is one thing to identify our values it is a different matter to examine our practices in terms of our values and beliefs…

33. Core Value + Beliefs: Why We value collaboration, We believe that students can and do learn from each other Principles ( How) We will help students learn skills for effective collaboration We will create opportunities for students to learn from each other • Practices ( What) We will teach communication, listening, group role skills Develop understanding of different styles of thinking, personality, leadership Group assignments, tasks Classroom seating arranged flexibly to allow for ease of group work and individual work Peer tutoring Teach Process skills Learning to learn pedagogy Expert groups Evaluation against agreed rubrics

34. Developing congruence between our beliefs and actions With a partner Each identify one of the values or beliefs about learning How in principle do you respond and work towards this belief? Give 3 examples of practice which are congruent with this principle and its underlying belief Identify barriers to this belief being lived out in practice Identify a practice which is not congruent with your belief

35. Being the best we can be…… Is what we are doing in line with what we value and believe?

36. Our challenge is to transform education for the Technology Era. Our challenge is to design practices that maximise learning opportunities made possible by the technology era.

37. The Technology Era demands:  we are all multi-literate and in particular to be Information & Communication Technology literate  the development of learners who have the capacity to be receptive, adaptive, responsive, supportive and self determining within learning communities .

38. To respond to the challenge we need an understanding of: the nature of the Technology Era what constitutes powerful learning effective learning & teaching processes cultural transformation and change
