Academia.edu is a platform for academics to share research papers. This annual event is hosted by the Australian Council for Educational Research (ACER). Previous conferences focused on themes of Australian Curriculum, Teachers driving school improvement, and Improving assessments of student learning. The Excellence in Professional Practice Conference (EPPC) was a conference organised from 2014 - 2017 by the Australian Council for Educational Research. EPPC was presented by practitioners, for practitioners, and was attended by teachers, school leaders, researchers, and learning teams.
The annual conference, hosted by the Australian Council for Educational Research, is an event where classroom practitioners are the presenters as well as the attendees. They'll be giving valuable insights into the education challenges and successes in their own school communities, and how their evidence-informed projects have impacted on student outcomes.
The two day conference takes place in Melbourne next month and features more than 60 presentations and 12 workshops. One of the keynote speakers for EPPC 2016 is Dr Chris Chalmers, leader of Robotics@QUT. The Queensland University of Technology Outreach Program is a collaboration involving academics, pre-service teachers, classroom practitioners and students.
Through the program, the university provides free professional learning and resource kits to dozens of schools in low SES (socioeconomic status) areas to build staff capacity in teaching robotics-based curriculum activities.
Dr Chalmers tells Teacher her message to EPPC 2016 delegates will be around the importance of STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics), robotics and coding in schools, what it looks like in practice and how members of the education community can work together.
'I know governments are starting to talk about it now, but as educators we've got to think about how we can actually bring [STEM] into the classroom and work with the children, not just the big ideas that are being spruiked out. Also, how we can collaborate together to make it so that it does work.'
The academic says the QUT program and EPPC 2016 provide valuable opportunities for teachers to share their work and experiences, allowing others to hear new ideas and build on them.
