Final reflections from the uLearn18 Conference in Auckland, 2018 - focusing on the need to keep people and organisational culture at the centre of our efforts to transform education

1. Our challenge is not about new tools,
structures or strategies we are going to
embrace, but to consider the culture we
are creating in our organisations, the
people, and the things that make us
human in this increasingly digital world.

“To achieve the necessary shift in
self-belief required to build our
capability as a people we must
actively clear the clutter from our
consciousness that clouds our
vision of ourselves and those
around us.”
Hana O’Regan

“As Educators we should
trust our raw instincts of
what works. Be amongst
what is happening - not
just observing.”
Pasi Sahlberg

“Critical actions to
promote collaborative
leadership include, a clear
purpose that inspires
action, shared professional
learning and time for the
leaders to build trust.”

person will we
need to be to thrive
in this future?”

7. “What will you do when you return from this
conference to invest in yourself, your learning and
your wellbeing – and then what will you do to
invest in others, their identity, their learning, their
wellbeing?
What will you do that will develop the culture of
your workplace so that our humanity remains the
focus of the future that together we are building as
we interact each day with the staff and students we
work with?”
