Practical steps for developing vibrant professional growth cultures

How can we ensure every educator can enhance their expertise every term? What are the most effective ways of building a vibrant professional learning culture? How can we unlock fresh energy for engaging with research evidence?

In this live, in-person, 1-day masterclass, former Head Teacher and best-selling author Tom Sherrington (UK) is teaming up with Dr Simon Breakspear to bring fresh thinking, actionable frameworks and practical tools for enhancing professional learning in your school.

Simon (Teaching Sprints) and Tom (Walkthrus) will share what they’ve learned impactful, professional learning leaders do differently to help everyone move forward in a meaningful and sustainable way. They will draw out lessons from their embedded case study work from around Australia and across the globe.
