Introduction
The BPEA Foundation Program is on again in Term 4. It will again be a series of three two-day workshops. The Big Picture Education (BPE) design for school is described by a set of key distinguishers and carefully structured frameworks and processes that aim to engage young people in learning. The design is the what, the why, the how and the where - all at once. While created for school it is adaptable for use by academies and programs within a school. It is a design for all young people and it is underpinned by high expectations for all students. This course will explore some of the key elements of the design.
Participants
This course satisfies the induction requirement for all those working in a Big Picture Education Australia school, academy or program. It is also available for any leader, teacher, support worker and community member who is interested in learning more about the Big Picture Education design for school.
Course leaders
The program will be co-ordinated by John Hogan, co-founder Big Picture Education Australia and Honorary Fellow, Murdoch University. He will be assisted by Eric Radice (school leader, advisory teacher and BPE School Coach), Lauren Findlay (advisory teacher and BPE PL Coordinator), Lisa Knight (advisory teacher and BPE School Coach) and Brooke Burns (advisory teacher and school leader). Throughout the course, we will be supported by teachers, students and leaders from Big Picture Schools, Academies and/or Programs. Professor Barry Down, Murdoch University, will support the program with findings from research about the Big Picture design itself and related topics.
