Description
Our Learning Areas such as Humanities, Science, Technologies, English and The Arts offer rich opportunities for real-world learning, but we can often be caught moving from one catastrophe to the next; from natural disasters to poverty, to conflict, to extinction, and so on. This teaching and learning can also impact the wellbeing of teachers, students and school leaders.
How might we bring lenses of hope to these tough topics, and how can we take action on them in our schools?
AISWA are proud to bring Hamish Curry, General Manager of Cool.org, to Perth for this very special, socially-purposeful Professional Learning event, as part of the Purposeful Pedagogies Masterclass series.
This hands-on workshop will guide educators through two new learning scaffolds - the Cool.org Hope and Act Frameworks. These research-based resources are designed to support all teachers in navigating complex issues and providing approaches to help students understand different perspectives and work towards addressing big challenges.
Participants will collaborate on their chosen curriculum themes using a design thinking process and leave with plans and strategies they can implement straight away. By framing teaching and learning through a combination of mindset (Hope) and skillset (Act), teachers and students can develop better strategies and perspectives on the world around us.
This Workshop is ideal for teaching teams, middle leaders, and educators.
