I would like to invite you to an event on 26-29th July here at Macquarie University that is designed to gather together the current thinking about teacher education and school leader education from around the world. The intent is to apply that wealth of knowledge and experience to the question of creating a vision for the most appropriate forms of teacher and school leader preparation for the 21st century.
It is a working conference with the goal of developing a series of policy recommendations for decisions makers, politicians, business and corporate agencies and program developers to consider as necessary inclusions in programs of professional preparation for 21st century teachers and school leaders.
If you know others who might be interested or able to contribute, please forward this file to them and encourage their participation or development of a contribution to the event.
Happy to provide further details should you be interested in pursuing this further.
Warm Regards,
Ian
