It’s not enough to know what strategies work best, it’s knowing when to put those strategies into practice to maximise students’ ownership of learning that matters. When classroom experiences are intentionally designed to meet each learner’s needs, you can maximise student learning and progress.
During the events, you will discover strategies that build conceptual understanding of mathematical ideas and learn to design classroom experiences that hit the surface, deep, and transfer phases of learning for immediate impact in the classroom.

Literacy educators have been in search of ‘what works’ for decades. When we look to the Visible Learning research, the answer is simple. Nearly all the things teachers do work when we ask what improves student achievement. But only a few things work at ensuring that students gain a year's worth of growth for a year of time at school. So, it’s time to focus on what works best. What works best is using the right approach at the right time and by doing this you can design literacy learning experiences that maximise student learning. Discussions, readings and practical experiences related to literacy all contribute to deepening participant understanding.
Mindframes of Leaders Who Think and Act Evaluatively - VIRTUAL
Speakers: John Hattie and Vania Tiatto
Date: March 18, 2021 - Full day | 9am - 3pm AEDT
Your mindframes—your internal beliefs about your role as a leader—determine the high-impact leadership practices you choose to implement. Building on over twenty-five years of Visible Learning research, thinking and acting evaluatively is core to mindframes of highly impactful leaders of learning.
So, what is evaluative thinking and why is it important? What does it actually look like in practice? How do you build a learning organisation where thinking and acting evaluatively is what leaders, teachers and students do every day as part of the learning process?
Attend this symposium to learn:
• About the related research of mindframes of leaders who think and act evaluatively and have a major impact on the learning lives of students.
• How to strengthen evaluative thinking and doing as a leader
• How to cultivate these ways of thinking and acting across your school.
Walk away with practical ideas, strategies and resources to help strengthen your mindframes and the mindframes of others to think and act evaluatively.
Unlocking Formative Assessment - VIRTUAL
Speaker: Shirley Clarke
Date: March 19, 2021 | 8am - 11am AEDT
Formative assessment is the single most important educational tool for enabling learning and raising achievement, with a proven increase in the speed of learning by 70-80% because it puts the student at the heart of the jigsaw of evidence backed, tried and tested strategies. It is when teachers and schools have a passion for the conceptual framework of formative assessment, implementing every factor, that this success occurs: all the elements are interdependent, so cherry picking yields only minimal impact.
In this 3 hour session, Shirley unravels the key elements and how they fit together, illustrated throughout by research evidence and excellent video clips:
1. Building a learning culture for high student self-efficacy.
2. Organising effective discussion for pairs and groups.
3. It’s all knowledge: learning intentions and co-constructed success criteria.
4. Feedback: prior knowledge questioning, within lesson questioning, feedback and marking.
Maximising Learning and Impact with Foundation Day- VIRTUAL
Choose to attend only Maximising Learning & Impact Day or create a bundle event along with Foundation Day.
Speaker: John Hattie and Sam Rodgers
Date: Foundation Day - March 24, 2021 | 9am - 3pm AEDT
Date: Maximising Learning & Impact - March 25, 2021 | 9am - 3pm AEDT
Maximising Learning and Impact:
Why leave student success up to chance? There are deliberate practices we can implement as leaders and teachers which will make a difference to the inputs learners bring to their learning, and the skill, will and thrill as a result of learning. Organised around the DIIE framework, this symposium takes you through a process for diagnosing, determining high impact interventions, quality implementation and evaluating to accelerate the impact your teaching has on student learning.
Attend this symposium to:
• Hear about the most current research on what works best to accelerate student learning
• Discover how well you cater for each aspect of the skill, will (dispositions) and thrill (motivation) of learning
• Take a deep dive into the four stages of the DIIE model: Diagnosis and Discovery, Intervention, Implementation, and Evaluation
• Hear best practices in action and examples from schools and classrooms around the world
Walk away with practical ideas, strategies and resources to help maximise learning and impact.
Foundation Day provides an overview of Visible Learning. Participants will identify and discuss the most important messages from the Visible Learning research and know the difference between the influences that 'do' and 'do not' make a significant difference to student progress and achievement. Explore the mindframes which can have a major impact on student learning and be introduced to the 5 Visible Learning strands:
1. Visible Learner
2. Know Thy Impact
3. Visible Teaching & Leading
4. Effective Feedback
5. Visible Learning School
UPCOMING IN TERM 2
Collaborative Expertise (PLC+) - VIRTUAL
Register for all four events in a bundle package or choose from any one of the events that works best for you.
Speakers: Douglas Fisher and Vania Tiatto
What are the components of collaborative meetings that motivate and inspire you? Are we really moving student learning forward because we shared our knowledge and skills with others in effective and impactful ways? How do we know? Do you make the most of this time together, or is it time you feel could be more effectively utilised?
Collaborative Expertise is when we harness the power of individual expertise. It is when we spend time focussing on student learning in a way that, with our colleagues, deepens and strengthens our own learning and practices.

UPCOMING CONFERENCE:
DATE: AUGUST 9-10, 2021
LOCATION: HYBRID EVENT - SYDNEY AND VIRTUAL
Maximising learning and impact involves connecting what educators do with what learners learn. It is understanding the impact that schools, leaders, and teachers have on their students. In order to realise this impact, educators must:
- KNOW: Explore what works best, based on research and evidence, and understand what learners bring to the learning.
- ACT: Understand how to design learning and implement effectively to ensure learners learn.
- EVALUATE: Consider how to effectively monitor progress and evaluate impact to answer the question - Did what educators do make a difference to the learning lives of the students?
The 2021 Conference focuses on leveraging the most current research to help inform decision making in order to connect what educators do with what learners learn, which results in improving student outcomes.
