On Monday 15^th April, I was honoured to be part of a wonderful panel of presenters at a staff professional learning day at St Michael’s Grammar School in Melbourne. The focus of this session was the Future of Schooling and the other panelist included:

• Dr Glenn Savage (University of Melbourne, Faculty of Education)                  
• Jayne Johnston (University of Melbourne, Faculty of Education) &
• Diana  Hodgson  (HR Strategic Partners)     

We all seemed to complement each other as we shared thoughts on what the school of the future should look like.

I connected Professor Seymour Papert’s 8 big ideas behind his constructionism learning theory as a framework for thinking about how schooling should be done now and in the future. Click here to see my slides.

This event was organised by Ross Phillips, St Michael’s Associate Head – Research, Innovation & Professional Practice.
