Curriculum improvements and innovations

ISQ staff will travel to various regions across Queensland to update school leaders on ACARA work for Prep to Year 10, Queensland initiatives for Kindergarten to Year 12 learning, and ISQ initiatives and projects in 2019. Discuss global learning, examine the 'Gonski 2.0' report and consider the implications of changes to curriculum at the national and state level.

Partner with local Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities

In a range of online courses, examine how both Indigenous and non-Indigenous students can be supported in developing numeracy and mathematical skills, while embedding Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander perspectives and content in the curriculum, and learn the ways in which your school can partner with local communities to maximise student learning outcomes and improve school-wide planning.

Individualised learning with Educational Data

Data can be used to improve teaching practice in ways that have a substantive impact on student learning. It can also change the conversation with students and their parents, enabling teachers to provide targeted and meaningful feedback to influence student learning and achievement. ISQ’s Educational Data suite is a series of online modules via Connect&Learn.
