A Welcome to "the authentic learner" from our principals
Mrs. LOUISE O’BRIEN |
Mr. Vince campbellWelcome to ‘The Authentic Learner,’ a site that aims to chart the collaborative learning journey that Sacred Heart, Mosman, and Blessed Sacrament, Clifton Gardens, have been travelling together over the last 12 months or so. This site aims to be a resource and repository for staff reflections and ideas on the nature of what we believe it is to be an authentic learner in these exciting times for our two schools.
For too long teaching has been seen as some arcane form of private practice where the teacher, the ‘sage on the stage,’ and classroom oracle plied his or her trade behind closed doors for no one’s eyes but the students. Such a limiting view of teaching will no longer suffice in an era where the learning landscape has shifted significantly and students, teachers and schools need to be engaging collaboratively, sharing new knowledge and learnings in globalised technology-rich learning environments where our students should, under the guidance and direction of their teachers, be on the journey to becoming ‘innovation ready.’ Click here for my own take on authentic learning. |
