Event description
How are educators in regional communities working to foster a generation of future focused learners in the classroom?
Join us for an inspiring panel discussion exploring ‘The Future Of Regional Education’ with primary and high school educators from regional communities across Queensland as they share their experiences, strategies, and advice for fostering future focused learners in the classroom.
These leading educators will explore creative approaches to engage students, enhance learning outcomes, and and prepare students for an ever changing future of work.
In addition, the panel will delve into how they have cultivated a culture of innovation within their broader communities, overcoming the challenges that come with teaching in regional communities, and embracing the unique opportunities that regional education provides.
Whether you're an educator, administrator, or community leader, this discussion offers valuable insights and practical takeaways for building an environment where creativity and innovation can thrive. Don't miss the opportunity to hear from with these change-makers and learn how to transform education in your community!
