I lead Innovation Unit’s young people and family projects in Australia. I work in partnership with systems, sectors, schools, early learning providers and other NFPs to design challenging, inspiring learning experiences and services that help young people to reach their full potential in a rapidly changing world. I also support organisations to codify and scale promising new practice, and consider the enabling conditions, structural changes and professional capabilities required for ideas to spread and have impact.This includes...Transforming Bermuda's public education system so that every child can thrive (2020-present): https://www.innovationunit.org/thoughts/the-future-of-learning-arrives-in-bermuda/Radically personalising approaches to out-of-home care with Parkerville Children and Youth Services (2020 to present): https://www.innovationunit.org/thoughts/achieving-better-outcomes-for-children-and-young-people-at-parkerville-children-and-youth-services-through-radically-personalised-shared-care-journeys/Co-designing future-focused new early learning offers and scaling the most promising practices with Goodstart (2016 to 2019): https://www.innovationunit.org/projects/good-future/Developing cross-sector communities of practice to design engaging new teaching practice (2015-2018): https://www.innovationunit.org/projects/elevate/

Project Manager, Partnerships (2015)As Project Manager of the Partnerships team, I was responsible for overseeing AITSL's partnerships with a range of organisations aimed at supporting teacher and school leader improvement and innovation. These partnerships included the Learning Frontiers initiative (below), and the Innovation Bootcamp program - a collaboration between AITSL, Innovation Unit (UK) and State Schools Queensland. Senior Project Officer, Learning Frontiers (2013 - 2015)Learning Frontiers brings together clusters of schools - design hubs - to design professional teaching, learning and assessment practices that promote deep, intellectual engagement in learning. I facilitated design hubs in Adelaide, Canberra and Melbourne, working alongside educators to:- develop exploratory questions that address real issues each school faces relating to engagement- form structures and processes to aid cross-school collaboration- introduce members of the school community to innovation methodologies like rapid prototyping- broker relationships between schools and corporate sponsors, philanthropists and community groups- mobilise parents and community to drive change- collect data about the extent to which students are currently engaged, and the impact of the interventions they design- develop strategies for scaling and diffusing engaging practice.Previous projects include:Illustrations of Practice: video resource development alongside education stakeholders that show how the Australian Professional Standards for Teachers can be enacted by teachers working in different contexts across Australia. Teacher Toolkit: http://www.toolkit.aitsl.edu.au/ Australian Professional Standards for Teachers validation (2010)Teaching Teachers for the Future: a federal initiative funded through the ICT Innovation Fund, involving all 39 higher education institutions and aimed at building the ICT capacity of teacher educators (2010-2011)
