Next term, our Secondary Department Discussions will explore the theme Share to Learn
These short online sessions will explore what this looks like across different learning areas. Each session will feature authentic classroom practice from one or two teachers, showcasing practical ideas, student learning and approaches that others can adapt in their own contexts.
Whether it's making learning visible through blogs, using AI thoughtfully, redesigning assessment, or sharing innovative classroom practice, Share to Learn is about teachers learning from teachers.
Keep an eye out for upcoming sessions—we'd love you to join the conversation.
