Dear ACEL SA Members,
On Wednesday, May 1, we're thrilled to host a Hot Topic event featuring Dr. Jared Cooney Horvath. Renowned as a neuroscientist and educator specializing in human learning, memory, and brain stimulation, Jared brings a wealth of expertise. With experience conducting research and lecturing at Harvard University, Harvard Medical School, and the University of Melbourne, his work has been published in the New Yorker, the Economist, the Atlantic, and the New York Times.
We're incredibly fortunate to have Jared join us in person. During this event, he'll share thought-provoking insights into our learning processes, the development of 'capabilities' and 21st-century skills in education, and the ongoing dialogues shaping the future of schooling. To secure your spot, please register here.
For those unable to attend, I highly recommend Jared's latest book, co-authored with David Bott, titled "10 Things Schools Get Wrong (And How We Can Get Them Right)." It offers challenging and thought-provoking perspectives on a variety of issues that schools continue to grapple with.
On May 19 at Immanuel College, Dr. Selena Fisk will lead a workshop titled 'Leading Data Informed Change.' This leadership workshop emphasizes the importance of teams using data to analyse the impact of their efforts on student learning outcomes. It presents a fantastic opportunity to attend with colleagues from your school. To register, please click here.
If you're unable to attend the workshop but would like to learn more about Selena’s work, ACEL SA is hosting a Q&A and Networking session on the same day. Register here to join us.
