Relationships, Experience and Outcomes:The Character of Learning in the Middle

Presenter: Prof Phil Cummins 

How are we intentionally shaping the educational experience and outcomes of our learners in middle school so that they can become the best versions of themselves? What might be a process that allows us to move the desired focus of student culture from intangible and necessary values to meaningful and actionable behaviours? How might we design a relational pedagogy to connect with and guide our students so that they might be equipped with an authentic voice, empowered with a constructive agency, and enabled to exercise a powerful advocacy for the other? In this webinar, Professor Phil Cummins will walk participants through a succinct summary of over 15 years global research into character education. He will also facilitate three scenarios that will explore student outcomes, character apprenticeship and experiential learning in middle schooling. Participants will take away a set of practical character education tools to support growth in their own practice as teachers and leaders.
