Little man doing some Serious Play with @joelbirch tonight. Unfortunately he ate his model of the education future @EDfuturesWA #TalkEDfutures
"Rethink accelerator and incubator programs.
Support systems understanding before solution pitching.
Value “lived experience.”
Support opportunities for “apprenticing with a problem” and experiential education.
Create educational ecosystems."

Not sure what was more exciting this week: release of GOT episode 3 or release of @Innovation_Unit report on learning ecosystems?
There is a growing consensus that edu demands radical transformation if we want all citizens to become future-ready. In this *NEW REPORT* @Innovation_Unit explore the potential of learning ecosystems to meet this challenge #aussieED #wearethesystem wise-qatar.org/2019-wise-res…

EDUCATORS OF WESTERN AUSTRALIA!
Tell us what it's like to work in K-12 schools in WA. Read about the Sensing the Education Future project and add your story: fogartyedfutures.org.au/sef/ The more people that tell their story, the stronger our message! #TalkEDfutures #WeAreTheSystem
A couple of years ago, there was some heated discussion on @WAPLN's Facebook group about "the system". @brookssensei piped up, "this is a network of over 10,000 educators. We ARE the system"
I've referenced that comment many times.

People created the education system and people will change it.
Don't doubt the power of individual actions and actors.

This paper by @Innovation_Unit and @Cisco (our inspiration) discusses formal and informal learning, and making connections between existing ed providers and new entrants to support innovation in the system. How can we make the "extra"curricular the norm? innovationunit.org/publicati…

When developing @EDfuturesWA, we spoke with 100s of educators around Western Australia about what matters most in education. Now we are working with @CognitiveEdge to collect those stories to help influence systems change in education. Get ready to #TalkEDfutures WA! #SenseMaker
What matters most in education? We'll soon be launching the Sensing the Education Future project. In phase 1, we are asking K - 12 teachers, school leaders and school support staff about your experience of working in the education system in Western Australia #TalkEDfutures
