  1. Design Principles Workshop DECEMBER 2013 Twitter: @Lfrontiers and #learningfrontiers Padlet: www.padlet.com/wall/learningfrontiersdpw

  2. Imagine a world where kids are as eager to learn throughout school as they were when they arrived…

  3. Our aim To increase the proportion of Australian students who are deeply engaged in their learning, through the development of teaching and learning practices that promote engagement

  4. What will we do? Provide opportunities and support for schools to develop and unite around powerful design principles for engaged learningWork with ‘design hubs’ to apply those design principles to develop and implement bold new professional practices that engage students in worthwhile learning

  5. The Problem:many students are disengaged and many more are un-engaged

  6. Research from Canada…

  7. Student engagement 100% % ENGAGED STUDENTS 80% 60% 40% 20% Elementary Middle Middle-Secondary Secondary Source: CEA study

  8. Disengagement is a bigger problem for the most disadvantaged children

  9. Low SES pupils = lower engagement 100% % ENGAGED STUDENTS 78 78 80% 76 58 60% 56 56 41 40% 25 20% VERY LOW SES VERY HIGH SES Source: CEA

  10. …and more research from Australia…

  11. Children’s interest and engagement in school influences their prospects of educational and occupational success 20 years later, over and above their academic attainment and socio-economic background.The longitudinal association of childhood school engagement with adult educational and occupational achievement: findings from an Australian national study. Joan Abbott-Chapman, Kara Martin, Nadia Ollington, Alison Venn, Terry Dwyer, Seana Gall, February 2013

  12. They found that each unit of school engagement was independently associated with a 10% higher chance of achieving a post-compulsory school education at some point during the next 20 years, including as a mature student.

  13. …and from America…

  14. City As School In the States 1.2 Million students per year drop out of school (USA)

  15. 65%wished they had a teacher or an adult who cared about their success . 80% dropped out because their classes were not interesting or relevant 90% said they wanted more opportunities for real world learning

  16. What do we mean by engagement?

  17. Engagement in Learning vs. Engagement in School

  18. Engagement in School • Attendance • Attentiveness • Conformity • Exam Results • Behaviour

  19. Engagement in Learning Engagement in Learning • Energetic and enthusiastic • Learning all the time, everywhere • Taking responsibility for learning • Achieving a wider set of learning outcomes

  20. Learning that fosters engagement is: • Purposeful: absorbs and fosters a sense of agency • Placed: has relevance in the space that students inhabit, connecting with family/community and identity • Pervasive:extends beyond school and is prolonged through independent learning • Passion-led: appeals to students’ (and teachers’) passions or moral purpose – it matters to us

  21. What will we do?

  22. Design principles for engaging learning Co-created Recognises both adults and students as a powerful resource for the co-creation of community, the design of learning and the success of all students. Connects with and uses real-world contexts and contemporary issues; is permeable to the rich resources available in the community and the wider world Connected Personal Integrated Builds from student passions and capabilities; helps students to personalise their learning and assessment in ways that foster engagement and talents Emphasises integration of subjects, integration of students and integration of learning contexts

  23. Design hubs

  24. Design hubs

  25. Program supports
