Previous Workshops Included:
Identity Ignition
Workshop one was called ‘Identity Ignition’ and was been designed to help educators assist young people to explore their strengths and develop a deeper understanding of their passions. The workshop featured guest speakers that introduced participants to student self-assessment tools and resources that can be used in the classroom. Participants left the workshop with a deeper understanding of effective practices and exercises that their students can use in self-reflection to uncover their strengths, passions and career identities.
Enterprising Futures
Workshop two features our special guest, Bev Laing, an education curriculum expert. Bev shared insights on how to integrate enterprise skills into curriculum delivery. It is no secret that young people need to have enterprise skills as they embark on their educational and career journeys. With that in mind, this workshop was designed to immerse participants into activities for young people to gain experience in skill development and provide an understanding of why these activities are effective. The workshop also discussed the application of essential enterprise skills across career clusters and provided an opportunity to collaborate on ideas that can be used back in the classroom immediately.
Real World Impact
Workshop three promoted student engagement through real-world experiences is a powerful way to make learning relevant and meaningful. This workshop also explored practical ways for educators to design real-world experiences into the current curriculum which promotes student engagement. Participants gained insights from our guest speakers who shared invaluable advice and ideas for ways educators can connect students to opportunities that create a real-world impact. This workshop was designed to explore ideas for practical strategies that promote student engagement, deepen learning and prepare young people for the new world of work.
These workshops were run in February and March 2024 and are indicative of the type of content in our programmes. Our future Achieving Impact workshop programmes may vary. Register your interest to stay up to date on Achieving impact news.
