23.01.2022 We dont even know what skills may be needed in the years ahead. That is why we must train our young people in the fundamental fields of knowledge, and equip them to understand and cope with change. That is why we must give them the critical qualities of mind and durable qualities of character that will serve them in circumstances we cannot now even predict. John W. Gardner 1961. Are you equipping your students for the future? #excellenceinVET #innovation #opportunityforpractice #thelearningcommunity #johnwgardner

16.01.2022 We are moving away from teaching things that readily become outmoded, and toward things that will have the greatest long-term effect on the young persons capacity to understand and perform. Increasing emphasis is being given to instruction in methods of analysis and modes of attack on problems. In many subjects this means more attention to basic principles, less to applications of immediate practical use. In all subjects it means teaching habits of mind that will be useful in new situations curiosity, open-mindedness, objectivity, respect for evidence and the capacity to think critically. John W. Gardner (1973) This is still an important message today. Are you teaching this way in your RTO? #excellenceinVET #innovation #opportunityforpractice #thelearningcommunity #johnwgardner

16.01.2022 Wishing you a peaceful and safe Christmas season. We will be taking a break, switching off and having some tech free time. See you in the new year #lookafteryourself #takearest #celebratetheyear #play #thelearningcommunity

16.01.2022 Back in 1973 John Gardner said ...much education today is monumentally ineffective. All too often we are giving our young people cut flowers when we should be teaching them to grow their own plants. We are stuffing their heads with the products of earlier innovation rather than teaching them to innovate. We think of the mind as a storehouse to be filled when we should be thinking of it as an instrument to be used. It is still so important that you challenge your students to innovate, develop skills and knowledge and provide opportunities for them to apply both skills and knowledge in realistic workplace situations. #excellenceinVET #innovation #opportunityforpractice #thelearningcommunity #johnwgardner

14.01.2022 As the year comes to an end and we reflect back on the things we have done, remember to make time to look after yourself. Take a rest, go on a holiday, refuel, do something inspiring. #lookafteryourself #takearest #celebratetheyear #takestock #play #thelearningcommunity

14.01.2022 Are you ready for an audit? Audits in the VET sector are now less predictable in the risk based auditing approach now used by ASQA. This means you need to be ready for an unexpected audit. Do you and your team know how to prepare for an audit? Our next webinar focuses on the importance of self-assessment, continuous improvement, compliance records and preparation of your staff as key strategies to ensure you are ready when the time comes for an external audit.

13.01.2022 Change is so swift that the latest thing today may be old-fashioned by the time young people enter adulthood. So they must be taught in such a way that they can learn for themselves the new things of tomorrow. John W. Gardner (1973) This is not just the case for young people. Our whole workforce must adapt to the changing technologies and must develop resilience, flexibility in the way work is performed and the analytical skills to allow innovation on the job. #excellenceinVET #innovation #opportunityforpractice #thelearningcommunity #johnwgardner

13.01.2022 Most people dont really need to have their ideas adopted in order to buy in to a decision. They just want to have their ideas heard, understood, considered and explained within the context of the ultimate decision Lencioni 2007. How do you involve your staff in continuous improvement? #proactiveapproachtocompliance #continuousimprovement #auditisnotadirtyword #thelearningcommunity #theessentialguidetobuildingasuccessfulrto

12.01.2022 Do you like giving and receiving feedback? Some people love it, other people avoid it. Our students NEED it. And as Ken Blanchard reminds us, feedback is the breakfast of champions. And despite this being a pretty corny quote, it reminds us that success often comes from perseverance and the daily practice of refining our skills and working towards our goals. Feedback can provide the encouragement and support students need to keep them working towards their goals and the tweak...ing and the guidance they need as they learn new skills and knowledge. In our next webinar we talk about feedback and why useful feedback is so important for students.

12.01.2022 Summative assessment is used to determine a students mastery of a topic after training is completed and to gather evidence of a students readiness for the workplace. Assessments must integrate theory and skills, be holistic where possible and reflect the conditions of the workplace. In our next webinar we discuss how to prepare your students for assessment and how to effectively conduct the assessment process.

11.01.2022 Many RTOs see Assessment Validation as being intrusive, an annoyance and just another regulatory requirement. What do you think about this? If the aim of your validation process is to check that assessments do what they are supposed to do, then surely the practice is a vital quality process rather than just a tick a box exercise? Wed love to hear your thoughts. Join us on our next webinar where we will be talking about Assessment Review and Validation.

07.01.2022 When considering your assessment pratices use this litmus test: ask yourself whether the student, on the basis of completing the final assessment is ready to perform this role in the workplace. If your answer is no, its time to rethink your assessment approach to ensure that the students are ready for certification and the workplace. In our next webinar we discuss the importance of evidence and how to make the assessment decision. To secure your spot register here: http://bit.ly/TLCwebinar

05.01.2022 If we indoctrinate the young person in an elaborate set of fixed beliefs, we are ensuring his early obsolescence. The alternative is to develop skills, attitudes, habits of mind and the kinds of knowledge and understanding that will be the instruments of continuous change and growth on the part of the young person. Then we will have fashioned a system that provides for its own continuous renewal. John W. Gardner (1973) This is still a challenge for us today and the VET sector is well positioned to do this.

03.01.2022 The end of the year is fast approaching and and its good to make time during the busyness to reflect on the year that is flying past and to consider what has been accomplished before jumping into planning for the year ahead. But if you are planning for 2020, make sure you put the student experience at the centre of your planning. Involve your whole team in discussions about what went well this year and what needs to be improved so they will engage in the steps to be taken next year to improve and ensure quality outcomes. #reflectivepractice #goalsetting #prioritisation #thelearningcommunity
