We are proud to announce that the Australian College of Educators has asked us to run an exclusive researchED event within their annual national conference.
researchED days are designed to stimulate, challenge and inspire. We bring the best evidence bases and research to the classes that need them the most, and work to drive powerful conversations between everyone who could benefit from better information. Sessions are allocated on a first-come-first served basis. Come along and choose the speakers and sessions you want to see, and build the day that you want.
We’ll be looking at: reading; phonics; behaviour and classroom management; cognitive psychology; teaching and learning; getting access to research; what it means to be an evidence informed educator; myth busting, and the lies you may have been told in training, and many more…
