Episode 3 - Positive Changes: Connection

Across the globe, prompted partly as a post-pandemic response, many call for changes at the core of the education process, strategy and implementation. Much newly funded research opens questions about whether we have got it right, education organisations as surrogates for parenting, knowledge alone as the primary objective of learning and the social construction of "failure" as possible at the culmination of the learning process. Many are questioning the social contract, the agreement by society to send children to state-run schooling, we now see this in the rise of home-schooling and independent schooling. So maybe it is time for change, positive change.

I want to start a series looking at "So what?" "What next?" "What could we do?" What is out there and who is trialling and experimenting with new approaches?

Recently you will have seen me recommending a new book by Matt Pitman "The Connection Curriculum". He is a school leader from Victoria, Australia. I am excited to kick off this "Positive Changes" series by talking to someone who is doing something, doing positive things to improve schooling and are creating thinking and approaches that are tested in the live environment. So come and listen to Matt Pitman talk about the experiences behind his book "The Connection Curriculum."

"I am an experienced educational leader with a passion for facilitating learning environments that foster entrepreneurial mindsets, curiosity and creative and critical thinking." Matt Pitman
