Keynote: What brings CLARITY to Precision-in-Practice? Integrating Evidence & Experience
Integrating experience and evidence is foundational to creating a collaborative approach to system and school improvement that accounts for the unique learning needs of all students, teachers and leaders.

Bringing ‘CLARITY to precision-in-practice’ is based on solid research into learning, teaching and leading. There is no silver bullet or single program that leads to continuous student improvement. Rather, it is a set of interrelated concepts deployed within an evidence-proven framework and implemented consistently and reflectively across systems, schools and classrooms, that ensures knowing ‘where to next’. While inferences can be made as the result of interpreting many sources of data or evidence, the real power of data resides in the conversations with, between and among ALL stakeholders.

The urgency of evidence and passion of experience in this Keynote are communicated through real-life examples, practical approaches and ‘deliberate pauses’ to reflect on achievable, sustainable practices occurring across Australia.
