• Exploring how the Learning Pit [The Learning Challenge] encourages students to step out of their comfort zone, willingly choose challenge, and to stick at their learning until they achieve a deep level of mastery
• Each event is suitable for leaders, teachers and consultants across the 3-19 age range

Curiosity & Powerful Learning Program for 2020

ACEL, in partnership with McRel International, has developed a two-year program providing school improvement teams with theoretical knowledge, tools and frameworks to implement processes to develop the pedagogical skills of teachers.

“Curiosity and Powerful Learning is a program that has given AHS a series of easy to follow steps that we can adapt and use in our context at a pace that suits us. It unlocks the latest educational research through practical steps, allowing us to recognise the expertise of our staff and improving consistency across the school in teaching and learning. Developing a broad team to work with CPL has exposed them to invaluable professional learning from Professor David Hopkins and the ACEL team, helping develop their instructional leadership on the way. Most importantly the CPL program is impacting on learning for students.”

Darryl Ward, Principal, Albury High School
