Education Professional Development

USC educator professional development sessions are facilitated by distinguished and experienced educators, designed to meet professional standards, and hosted by the University of the Sunshine Coast (Fraser Coast).

Join us for an afternoon workshop designed to inform teachers as they interact with student assessment data visualisations.These workshops are designed to support teachers as they work with standardised data, particularly data visualisations.Suitable for teachers, school leaders, data coaches, curriculum leaders.During this 2-hour workshop, participants will be given the opportunity to think deeply about data visualisations and the affective atmospheres created when teachers and data are in the same ‘space’.The workshop is designed to encourage collegial discussion, interaction, and speculative thinking. There is an emphasis on equipping participants’ professional confidence when interacting with student assessment data.By sharing experiences, ideas, and expertise, we will also consider what future data-visualisation practices could/ should look like for education (and for all teachers and students).We will look at:<ul><li>What is the main purpose of data?</li><li>Data visualisations and the work of teachers</li><li>How do data visualisations help/hinder teacher?</li><li>Data visibility – considerations and recommendations</li><li>Data visualisations and affective atmospheres: how to work ‘well’ with data</li><li>Future planning – what makes good data visualisation practice?</li></ul>All participants will receive a Certificate of Participation and be invited to be part of a research project. <h4>Researchers</h4>Dr Catherine ThieleWorkshop PresenterUniSC School of Education and Tertiary AccessLecturer in EducationResearch Lead Professor Mathias DeceuypereWorkshop / Researcher Zurich University of Teacher Education Associate Professor Carlo PerrottaWorkshop / Researcher The University of Melbourne Where: Upstairs in Building C at UniSC Fraser CoastWhen: 4.30pm, Thursday 7 AugustCPD sessions are held upstairs at the lake end of Building C at UniSC Fraser Coast.
