THE FOUNDATIONS COLLOQUIUM
BEGINS WITH THIS FUNDAMENTAL QUESTION…
What is education? It's a question that shouldn't need asking - yet the answer is so often assumed. Answering it, and two more guiding questions, is what makes everything that follows possible.
What is education?
A question often assumed unnecessary to ask.
What is the purpose of education?
Education has no boundaries - your organisation does.
Two Days Of Objective Analysis.
Foundations, Discovery and Emerging Priorities
Education has purpose, meaning and impact - which is why examination begins with language and how it determines communication, relationships and outcomes.
Day 1
Consistent Principles. Distinct Outcomes.
What separates ordinary results from extraordinary is the value of diverse ability in every individual. Day Two makes this visible.
Day 2
What you'll leave with
Know what education is and its purpose - lead with that certainty
See your school more objectively and recognise new possibilities
Establish the boundaries for leadership from first principles
Make decisions from clear reasoning
Our leadership team left saying, ‘We should have had this session years ago.’
