Selena Fisk

Position Leader of Learning/Principal Consultant
Organisation Brisbane Catholic Education/Aasha for Schools
Location QLD

Selena Fisk has 15 years' teaching experience in both state and private schools in Queensland, and in comprehensive schools in South London, England. Following three years in the role of Head of Physical Education in South London, where she learned about the power of feedback and transparency of results, Selena began a Doctor of Education degree at the Queensland University of Technology on her return to Australia. Selena has held a range of leadership roles in London and in Queensland, including learning-area-specific leadership (physical education, mathematics and science) and whole-school curriculum and pedagogy (in Catholic identity, student data and performance, and leading learning, data and curriculum change). The diversity of leadership roles that Selena has held throughout her career as a teacher has strengthened her passion for seeing students as individuals who fiercely need adults advocating for them and seeing what they are capable of. In 2017, Selena started her data consultancy practice – Aasha for Schools – following completion of her thesis. In this capacity, she works with schools, clusters and regions both in-person and via video conferencing. Her goal is to help teachers and school leaders see the inherent good that data can bring as well as the benefits of using data to develop thriving learning communities. Affectionately (she hopes) called “Data” by some of her colleagues, Selena can often be found engaging in philosophical data chats/arguments with the people who initially worry she is reducing students solely to numbers.
