The Biggest Breakthroughs in Learning
"Really powerful 4 days of learning - the ripples of which will be felt across the year."
Kathleen Johnston, Northern Alliance

The Learning Survey identified three major ingredients for learning in schools:
- There is no correlation between inspection judgments and the quality of learning in schools. The full report explores how we get our focus onto learning.
- Everyone needs a learning intervention - it isn't just for the select few who need support, it must be inclusive - every learner, teacher and senior leader.
- The Learners - identifying what makes them tick as a learner and the strategies they employ for learning. The report shines a lens on safety and voice in the classroom.

The Link between Student Success and Wellbeing
"When schools integrate academic and social-emotional learning, students learn how to add to the world in their way" - Joanne McEachen
3. Social Emotional Learning
Social emotional learning plays a huge part in the recovery from the pandemic. How do we move from the repair phase to the growth phase?
What do we need to consider next?
- Erika Twani said "we plan our lessons logically and yet our learners digest emotionally" - how do we take that into account?
- Andreas Schleicher showcased the OECD report and what do we and our society need to consider next.
4. What Learning Strategies are your students using?
Students are born with a inner learning strategies which are nurtured in the early years and used for the rest of their lives. With over 450 learning strategies that can be employed, it is an area which is poorly understood. Instead of trying to teach students learning strategies, we should be trying to understand the learning strategies that are already employing.
So how do we get inside the head of the learners as they're working?
5. Mistakes, Mishaps & Triumphs
The Learning Survey identified that at least 50% of students, for 50% of the time, feel a sense of humiliation either from their peers or teachers, they're afraid of making mistakes, which is the pivotal point of learning.
Here's how some big names turned their mistakes into triumphs:
- Lord Sebastian Coe broke a world record because he wasn't "afraid to do something different".
- John Hattie tells us about his mishaps that we're all pleased about.
- Angela Maiers tells us about her latest triumph in creating new leaders.
Can we get to a stage where all learners see their mistakes and mishaps as the first point in learning?
6. Equity, Diversity & Inclusion
Diverse educators and Hannah Wilson together with global experts from around the world demonstrated the key messages that getting curious instead of critical disrupting power dynamics in our schools and across systems. Consider belonging, cultural intelligence and psychological safety.
LGBTQ Plus The biggest buzz was on the equity sessions, with high engagement and lots of questions asked. Let's not be afraid to ask questions!
EdTech Futures making learning more accessible at all levels. Sal Khan with free world class education for anyone, anytime and Professor Sanjay Sarma shows us the way.
Learning Intervention shouldn't be for the select few, it should be an inclusive thing for all, including for teachers and school leaders, then everyone could hone the skills that is already there as part of our make up.
Alex Brooker was quite emotional about his contribution to change, he encouraged people to ask questions and to not be afraid to do so, he also said his disability is just one part of him.
7. Curriculum
How do we redefine and broaden our understanding of what curriculum can be.
We take the planning and the curriculum as something that's written, however, it's the emotional connection that brings it alive, and that's how we start to understand it and how the collective has become more powerful than the individual. The Curriculum Foundation led by Vicki Pendry had incredible perspectives and it wasn't the usual debate of knowledge skills, it more important than teaching and learning, it's about the people:
8. Leadership Climate Challenge
How do we create a climate to thrive?
Professor Michael Fullan and Kathleen Johnston explored systemness and the right drivers within the context of the Northern Alliance.
Professor Alma Harris challenged us to realise system level collaboration and capacity building.
Peter de Witt asked us to consider de-implementation before implementation. Stop to make space for something new.
Paul Bambrick Santoyo asked us to think about what we're leading and articulate it. Make sure all understand and that there aren't different messages and meanings.
And Michael Fullen said "Go slow, to go fast".

9. "We have an issue with assessment"
Was the clear message agreed by Professor Dylan William, Professors' Elizabeth and Robert Bjork, Sal Khan, John Hattie, Paul Bambrick Santoyo, Mick Waters and Tim Brickhouse.
We are treating it as something that is separate to the process, rather than directly as part of the learning process.
Ron Burgess said "we're not afraid of tests they're really important" assessments are not adding any value and it is detracting from the learning process. Make assessment part of the process of learning, assessment as learning, not assessment for learning, not assessment of learning but assessment as learning.
Elizabeth York "keep them all relevant". Ensure it all becomes part of the learning process and encouraging self and peer reflection, give students ownership of the continuous improvement process, the Japanese called it Kaiser.
