This learning event is right for you if you are interested in reimagining how education is delivered in ways that reflect the emerging and changing needs of students.

Description                                  

The speed of the pandemic forced educators to suddenly shift from familiar classroom routines to digital teaching, with little planning. They had to apply sometimes unfamiliar technology, adapting content and the way they delivered it.

Recent ISV research with independent schools revealed that a third of participants regarded hybrid learning as an ideal learning situation as it may continue to shape the education landscape. However, teacher competency remains the biggest challenge.

Most reported that an effective model should be contextually developed and implemented depending on various factors such as teacher capacity, teaching and learning tools and resources, as well as students’ different learning styles and needs. 

“The very basis of education is "the classroom", this will need to be completely re-imagined. How teacher time is allocated is based on: a) a classroom space b) a timetable aligned to that physical space c) teacher knowledge and pedagogical skills within that space in that time. All of these are subverted by a hybrid model where access by students is flexible, so flexibility in staffing and timetables etc. would need to be so too.” (Belgrave Heights Christian School)

In this webinar, we will discuss how teachers can reimagine how education is delivered in ways that better reflect the emerging and changing needs of their students. We will also consider how digital technologies are used to facilitate deep learning and to rethink learning and how it takes place, recognising that it can and does take place within and outside the classroom walls.
