CLARITY: WHAT MATTERS MOST IN
LEARNING,
TEACHING, AND LEADING
with Lyn Sharratt
The Australian
Council for Educational Leaders are very proud to present Lyn Sharratt as she
presents her three-part webinar series "CLARITY: What Matters MOST in Learning, Teaching, and Leading".
Bringing 'CLARITY' to the elements that sharpen precision-in-practice ensures
knowing 'where to next'. How to gain 'CLARITY' is based on a set of interrelated
concepts deployed within an evidence-proven framework and implemented consistently
and reflectively across systems, schools and classrooms.
This Webinar Series,
in three parts: 1. Learning; 2. Teaching; and, 3. Leading, is built on solid research.
There are no silver bullets or commercial programs that lead to continuous student
improvement. While individual inferences can be made by interpreting many sources
of data or evidence, the real power of data resides in the 'aha' outcomes
of collaborative conversations from 'roll-up-your sleeves' work with ALL stakeholders.
These Webinars of fast-paced learning, for which Sharratt is well-known,
will include experiential learning for all participants and provide opportunities
for self-reflection. You will leave each session with a straight-forward path
to CLARITY in your next steps - whatever your role in the school system may
be - and 'homework' to apply what you just learned. |

On behalf of all of us here at ACEL we welcome
you back to the school year for 2020. Of course, we cannot commence with any message
to the year without sending our sincere thoughts to everyone effected by the recent
devasting bushfires. We send our support to each community and every individual
effected and join the rest of Australia in thanking the tireless firefighters,
volunteers, community support workers and every single selfless person who has
assisted our fellow citizens in this tragic time of need. This tragedy has brought
sadness and devastation to so many, but in the midst of such hardship the inspiration
of witnessing community, neighbours and strangers alike coming together in solidarity
to support one another has once again been a demonstration of the collective spirit
of humanity and compassion we can share as fellow citizens. To all once again we say thank you.
In 2020 ACEL will introduce a new and improved
communications schedule, bringing targeted news, offers and events in a combined
weekly ACEL newsletter. This new and comprehensive newsletter delivered each Tuesday
[commencing Feb 11th] will cover all aspects of professional development including
news, events, publications, programs and special offers streamlined to provide
the essential information and support in a more concise manner. This weekly newsletter
will also be supplemented by fortnightly members newsletter highlighting links
to new resources made available within each period, plus a new regional newsletter
will be sent each month to our regional members and subscribers focusing on local offers and events.
