As educators, we face the enormous task of making schooling relevant for today's learners. While there is no single roadmap for taking schooling forward, we must all be committed to this goal.

The emergence of relational technologies means learning can now take place anywhere and anytime. Our schools must be able to meet the demands of a knowledge age; this requires a highly-professionalised education system.

We know (from two decades of good theory and practice) that what makes a real difference to learning outcomes are the highly-skilled teachers working with strong leaders in healthy learning environments.

For me, sustainable educational reform requires every teacher to be a leader of learning; building powerful networks and continually engaged in reflective dialogue on what is good learning. To achieve this, systems need to support ongoing teacher development and provide the appropriate resources to improve the quality of learning and teaching in every school.

As our physical and virtual networks continue to expand, we will be able to work more collaboratively in making schooling relevant for all young Australians.

I hope you find some useful resources here.
