Our world and our understanding of how humans learn and develop has changed drastically since public education was introduced, over 150 years ago. To effectively deal with the challenges of the 21st century, we must transform the way we understand and structure education in this country — re-thinking the model based on up-to-date information and current world realities. Join us in sharing new information, raising awareness and taking action for authentic educational change. Find out more.
Find out about key issues in education, learning, human development and what we really know about how our brains are shaped by evolution, genetics and experience. Explore what motivates learning, what encourages creative thinking and how home, school and community can create the best opportunities for meaningful learning.
Turn knowledge into action. Join a discussion, share your stories, ideas and projects. Get inspired by great thinkers and by the actions of others. Students, parents, educators and community members – we all have a voice in public education and every one of us has the power to take action.
Increasingly, Aboriginal communities are administering educational programs and services formerly delivered by non-Aboriginal governments. They are developing culturally relevant curricula and community-based language and culture programs, and creating their own educational institutions. As Aboriginal people work to improve community wellbeing through lifelong learning, they recognize the need to identify appropriate measurement tools that will help them assess what is working and what is not.
