Successful schools work continually to develop a culture of student, teacher and leadership learning success. Cognitive Coaching is integral to this.

Our poorest schools continue to get the poorest results. School leaders and teachers can make a bigger difference in our most challenging schools if they embrace some core pedagogical practices that have emanated from the most recent Australian research into best practice teaching in the middle and senior years of schooling.

Teachers, school leaders, educational consultants and systems personnel now have the opportunity to participate in a Turnaround Hub – where they will experience a teacher inquiry approach to learning. Working in research projects, they will explore effective ways to address educational disadvantage, based on the groundbreaking work that has been done in the Connecting Lives and Learning project.

Participants of the recent Learning to Coach, Coaching to Learn workshopsseries were introduced to the skills and knowledge from the Cognitive Coaching program.

Participants of the Adelaide Digi Kids continued to be challenged on their digital journey when they attended Days 3 and 4 of their Hub workshops. Their first challenge was to develop and create a claymation. The focus was not only to develop skills for the production, but also to develop a philosophy of technology integration where participants would reflect critically on their own pedagogical practices, to develop a meaningful context for introducing claymation as an additional medium for story telling, which could be used to support various literacy outcomes including recount, narratives and procedural genres, as well as a tool for reinforcing other curriculum outcomes.
