Symposium’s Purpose: 

To bring together the community of Australian educational leadership organisations and other key stakeholders to establish a common voice in response to the proposition that it is time for Australia’s educational leaders to be more active in shaping public discussion and influencing policy directions and settings.

​

Topics for Exploring:

  1. The impact of the standardised education regime on schools and school systems.

  2. A more futures-focussed education agenda.

  3. A unified professional voice: one that seeks to reclaim our role in the shaping of educational policy and influencing public debate.

​

To Prepare for this Symposium:

Delegates are asked to be familiar with the ASPA monograph - Beyond Certainty: A Process for Thinking About Futures for Australian Education – authored by Professor Alan Reid AM and available for free download.
