Overview: Inspiring opportunities and unsettling challenges often go hand-in-hand. Over the past few months, education has certainly experienced its share of the latter. And yet, in the midst of this profound upheaval, the once-in-a-lifetime possibilities for the profession are tantalising.
In this webinar, Tony will explore some of those possibilities, including:
- Flexible schooling hours / days / weeks that disrupt the 9 to 3 model
- Enhanced student agency that builds on their remote learning experiences
- Blended learning options that provide highly personalised support
- A revamped focus on emotional intelligence capabilities eg resilience, adaptive agility, empathy, social entrepreneurship
- Consistent focus on wellness initiatives for both students AND educators
- Refreshed alliances with parents and community groups
- Heightened public respect for the work and worth of the education profession
- Reimagining core purposes for education
