Webinar #50 | Kadenze - Pedagogy Insights in Action

Kadenze's plan for modelling a pedagogy of creativity in a new online curriculum 

PLEASE NOTE MORNING START TIME

Globally, education is experiencing massive upheaval. Teachers are leaving in droves (the OECD estimates 20 million teachers will walk away in the next 5 years) and an Australian senate survey details that “more than one-in-three parents dealt with school refusal in the past 12 months”. The pressing challenge is clear - many teachers and students are refusing education as they find it. How can schools and colleges become more engaging, more enjoyable, and safer places of learning for all? We must find a better way.

Kadenze has recently released a program: Your Joyful 21st-century Learning Framework, which offers one pathway to a better way. This webinar shares Kadenze’s solutions by modelling a pedagogy of creativity. During this webinar you will apply the dynamics of motivation to achieve learning outcomes, oversee ways of building engrossing learning pathways, and share seven strategies to make learning personal, which in turn increases the agency of every learner. 

The webinar will be led by three of the co-creators of this groundbreaking program, freely sharing their international experiences in learning design to restore the joy, wonder and adventure of learning:

Brad Haseman. For over 40 years Brad has contributed as a teacher, researcher and policy developer in the fields of drama and arts education, practice-led research, and teaching artistry. In 2014 he co-convened the second International Teaching Artist Conference in Brisbane Australia (ITAC2) and in 2018 presented the free online course Introduction to Being a Teaching Artist on the Kadenze.com platform. (Class Central rating 4.5 of 5). Brad is Professor Emeritus at QUT and Executive Vice President of Kadenze Inc. which is based in the US.

Amanda Morris. After leadership posts in Asia-Pacific universities, Amanda was appointed Executive Director Conservatoire at the National Institute of Dramatic Art (NIDA) in Sydney, Australia. After gaining international recognition for producing StageStruck, which won the first British Academy Award for Interactive Entertainment, she then joined Kadenze Inc. to guide the development of their digital learning environments. Currently Amanda is Director of The Academy of the Arts at Charles Darwin University where she is energising Australian higher education, with groundbreaking courses like The Pedagogy of Indigenous Knowledge Sharing through Creative and Cultural Practices.

John Holyoke. John worked as a teaching artist before joining the team at Lincoln Center Education (LCE), NYC. In his twenty years with LCE John was an instructional design coach and lead facilitator. When the COVID quarantine year hit John focussed solely on remote learning using digital means. This led to Lincoln Center’s Pop-Up Classroom series, and Lincoln Center Activate tasked with building an online professional learning community. In 2023 John was appointed Associate Director, Instructional Design and Delivery, leading digital learning projects and education-related professional development for LCE.
