DESCRIPTION Professor Heppell will work with a number of schools in Tasmania in 2020—as guide, mentor and friend. With a view to helping schools research and change their learning spaces for the better. A number of schools in the Department of Education and Catholic Education have embraced the opportunity to host Professor Heppell and work to build learning spaces that support student learning, particularly around the introduction of technologies as part of the Australian Curriculum – Digital Technologies.
Professor Heppell has been visiting Australia for a number of years. His visits usually involve large-scale conference keynotes, consulting to state education departments, meetings with ministers and the like. His first visit for 2020 will be in March with his second visit being in November 2020.
More recently he has been focusing on working with individual schools and teachers that share his long held ‘eyes on the horizon, feet on the ground' approach to learning and teaching. In those very places where, each and every day, the ‘aggregation of marginal gains’ can be made—in Australian classrooms.
It is anticipated that the CS4HS funds to support having Stephen Heppell in Tasmania will directly impact a number of school communities and allow the leadership in three jurisdictions in Tasmania to meet with him to discuss his work internationally and nationally around change education.
THE PROJECT. Improving learning in schools. Technologies in the classroom environment. Visit The Learnometer website.
Stephen will spend two days in 2020 at each school, the first chatting with teachers and children about how to improve your learning spaces to really impact learning outcomes. There will be a particular focus on the integration of Technologies into the classroom Stephen will also present the latest research findings from his and others’ work that clearly show how to make a crucial and very real difference to learning. And meet with your parent body if you think this useful.
The second day, about 8 months later, will be all about what each school found over the year, and the changes made to classrooms and the impact these have had. In between these two ‘’physical’ days, you’ll be able to get updates, ideas and Stephen’s ongoing feedback online (as part of a ’closed’ Facebook project group).
The key here is you will have Stephen at each school for two days. Leadership can design that time to suit their communities needs but we’d like to concentrate on integrating technologies into learning spaces, how they can be researched and improved to directly impact how children learn. As part of this it a good idea, Stephen will also chat with your parent body; and of course, with children.
As part of this project and to encourage its ongoing impact, there is a plan to recruit more schools in subsequent years, expanding the teachers and principals involved, documenting the data to come out of each school and identifying new findings in our bid to continually improve learning in our classrooms.
OUTCOMES. Lasting positive changes to the teaching and learning in your classroom and in your school. Partnering with Stephen. Supporting the teaching of Digital Technologies
