Keynote speaker:
Lorraine Sands
“I have worked at Greerton Early Childhood Centre for the last seventeen years,
inside a shared leadership learning culture. Over that time, as part of a committed
team, we've been fortunate to be involved in a number of research projects,
including a Centre of Innovation (2006-2008) research investigation around asking
and exploring questions. For the last nine years I have been part of the Educational
Leadership Project team and been privileged to work alongside teachers as they set
research questions, exploring learning and teaching initiatives in their own settings.
I am very interested in exploring the ways dispositions drive learning. I think that
when teachers and children are able to pursue complex investigations, where we are
all encouraged to persist with difficulty, keep practicing, and then perfect our skills
through effort and practice, we learn to love learning. This takes intentional teaching
and thoughtful teachers who use philosophy and theory to build collaborative
learning cultures.”
