Teacher Professional Development

Empowering educators to build enterprising classrooms

REIMAGINING THE FUTURE FOR EDUCATION

90 Minute Keynote


The world of work is changing. Digitalisation and globalisation have sparked radical shifts in how we live and work. For this generation, it won’t be about what they know – it will be about what they can do with what they know. Perfect for schools that are looking to stay ahead of the curve, we’ll use cutting edge research to unpack the ‘future of work’. From this, we unpack the trends that will define education in the next decade; showcasing a number of divergent case studies of innovative schools and systems locally, nationally, and globally. We close with an opportunity for teaching teams to ‘level up’ their next lesson, taking the theory and making it practical.

BUILDING A CULTURE OF CREATIVITY & INNOVATION

2 Hour Masterclass or Full Day Workshop


We’ll use design thinking as a vehicle to take teachers from identifying challenges in their school context, to designing innovative solutions that make their school a better place. If you’re looking to provide your staff with the space and support to work together to solve complex challenges in creative ways – and to feel part of re-imagining how teaching, learning and schools can look and operate, then this workshop will set your staff up for success. Culminating in teams ‘elevator pitching’ their innovative ideas to their peers and leadership, the experience is hands-on, engaging and… fun. In fact, there’s even a prize for the winning idea.

BUILDING CAPABILITIES IN THE CLASSROOM

2 Hour Masterclass or Full Day Workshop


We’ll support teaching teams to build and measure capabilities within curriculum. Using cutting edge research to unpack the ‘future of work’, participants explore the specific skills and attributes young people need to navigate life on the other side of the school gates. We’ll unpack a research backed-framework to embed capabilities within their classroom and (in the full day workshop) apply the framework to embed a targeted capability within a chosen unit of curriculum. The day culminates with teaching teams sharing their capability-rich curriculum with their colleagues.

BUILDING ENGAGING CURRICULUM

One or Two Day Program


We’ll support teaching teams to level-up a unit of curriculum in real-time. Sitting at the intersection of project-based learning, design thinking and entrepreneurial pedagogies, participants are guided through a research-backed framework which backward maps an innovative approach to teaching, learning and assessing. We’ll re-imagine a unit to spark curiosity and engagement; embedding a target capability, and design a culminative showcase experience and (in the two day program) create a finished unit of curriculum, ready for implementation.  The program culminates in teams sharing their re-imagined units with their colleagues.

TeacherFoxwell State Secondary College, QLD

All schools need to engage in the professional learning provided by Future Anything. It puts into perspective the way that educators need to keep up with the times. Nicole Dyson was an engaging presenter who kept the content relevant to our context.

TeacherSt Luke's Catholic College, NSW

The day was engaging and encouraged deeper levels of thinking. It challenged my thinking and how to be the change in education. It was brilliant to be provided the space to think outside the square and see where we could shape the curriculum to support our students develop the skills they need to make a difference.

TeacherSt Joseph's Primary School Port Macquarie, NSW

I have participated in many workshops regarding Inquiry and Project Based Learning over the past two decades. This was by far the best and I would highly recommend it both experienced and beginner educators.

TeacherAustralian Industry Trade College, QLD

This workshop reinforced for me the aims and goals of Project-Based Learning. It provided the tools to get started on this journey at an entry level. I have confidence that we can make this work in and that it will be a really positive change for our students.

TeacherSt Mary MacKillop College, VIC

I am inspired and excited to make a difference with a different way of thinking. Feeling called to action and aware of modelling communication, mindset, reflection and management. Ready to focus on the purpose in order to motivate - brilliant!

TeacherSt Joseph's Primary School Port Macquarie, NSW

Great to develop a sense of what the future of education means!

TeacherBox Hill Senior Secondary College, VIC

Nic is an engaging presenter who makes you, as an educator, think about how and why you are teaching.

TeacherSarina SHS, QLD

When you think of someone who is in the right profession and is doing what they were meant to do, it's not hard to see Nicole is this person. I thoroughly enjoyed and was blown away by Nicole's presentation, past experience that was totally relevant to our industry and her enthusiasm in what she believes in. Nicole is engaging, funny and exactly what is needed to motivate educators.

TeacherSt Luke's Catholic College, NSW

This was very informative and interesting. I will use these skills in my classroom. The presenter was very positive and engaging!
