You will discover how to transform learning spaces and educational practices, and you will share your teaching methods and real experiences of teaching in crises with other educators.

Week 1: Educators changing learning environments, including how to create change with limited resources, responding to challenges in the social environment, approaches to changing the learning space, and moving forward with ideas for change.
Week 2: Understanding learners in context, spanning the wider contexts that influence teaching and learning, understanding learner perspectives, and teaching controversial issues.
Week 3: Transforming learning for an unknowable future, covering responses to students’ needs and aspirations, transformative teaching and learning in practice, and understanding and working within limitations.
Week 4: Digital networks for change, inclusive of digital tools to help both learners and teachers and an opportunity to share ideas that promote transformative education.
