Finally what we did was…
Designed professional development from the inside out – It works!
Shared the learning and facilitation and development across the TQR organisation – Is possible and sustainable
Understood the diverse learning needs of our VET Teachers and collaboratively planned phased learning approaches (formal and informal) Just in time learning that is focused on teaching practice.
Knowing and learning as an active supported and social process – Support is vital, time, money and management.
Integrated information technology use across the organisation – Takes time and needs strategic planning and policy to sustain
Managed support and monitored – buy-in from all stakeholders. Project Plans
Connected to the identity of the new organisation –TQR - Shared learning and coaching and used a virtual team approach
Leveraged the value of ‘ignorance’ and discussed what was needed and what needed to be learned right now - everything of value and creative comes out of not knowing and that is okay!
What we know…
Educators are driven by passion, as much as expertise, but they are time poor and PD has in the past been compliance focused not teaching and learning focused.
Teachers are caught within their own assumptions but move beyond those of the present by being involved in learning as a “Just in time” problem based social activity that can be immediately applied to their own teaching and learning context.
Project PALM provided the vision and support to energise people to reinvigorate collaboratively and apply new learning to their teaching and learning practice!
TQR VET Teachers Digital habitat 2010 and beyond? “ learning together is a complex achievement that weaves
communal and individual engagement, aspirations and identities.
2010-2011 provides us with an opportunity to source funding to build on the project PALM multiple models of staff development and weave pedagogical and technological approaches for the future of the VET system and the capability of our core business drivers – learning and facilitation designers! (aka Teachers and support staff)
If it means cracking a coconut with our heads or varying our strategies it is well worth it! PS did you know that there are at least 20 different ways to open a coconut!!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FW7X8Axtk0E&feature=related
