    Teacher Mind frames and belief systems
    Mahat, M ; Bradbeer, C ; Byers, T ; Imms, W (University of Melbourne, 2017)
    The workshop focused on teacher mind frames and belief systems. Participants worked in small groups to explore how teachers’ beliefs about learning shape their teaching. These small group discussions illustrate challenges other teachers face, what they are doing to overcome them, and provide an opportunity to discuss what teachers need to support their ideal teaching practice.

    Learning Spaces in Australia and New Zealand
    Imms, W ; Mahat, M ; Byers, T ; Murphy, D (University of Melbourne, 2017)
    Within the participating educational jurisdictions (Australian Capital Territory, Catholic Diocese of Parramatta, New South Wales, Queensland and New Zealand), we wanted to find out principals’ perceptions of (1) the types of learning spaces in their schools; (2) the types of teaching approaches observed in those spaces; (3) the degree to which teachers in those spaces utilised progressive ‘mind frames’; and (4) the degree to which students engaged in ‘deep’ as opposed to ‘’surface’ learning in those spaces.
