Teachers with Purpose [Micro-course & Interactive Mastermind Classes]
with Karen Bonanno, Educator and Youth Coach, KB Enterprises (Aust) Pty Ltd

During the 5-week virtual professional learning program, Teachers with Purpose Micro-course and Interactive Mastermind Classes, Karen will share with you valuable insights into increasing your value and relevancy as a teacher.

Your commitment each week will be:

• Completion of one online module in your own time each week (~ 1 – 2 hours), and
• One live, interactive masterclass on a Wednesday at 5.00 pm AEST (1 hour on 3rd, 10th, 17th, 24th and 31st March).
  [As we are in Daylight Saving Time in Australia, the time for the masterclass in your time zone, e.g. NSW, ACT, VIC, TAS = 6.00 pm, QLD = 5.00 pm, SA = 5.30 pm, NT = 4.30 pm, WA = 3.00 pm]. If you cannot attend the masterclass you will have access to the recording and the opportunity to connect with Karen at a mutually convenient time.

Throughout the short course, you will have the opportunity to embrace new learnings, maintain relevancy and job security in the school community by:

• identifying your natural strengths, talents and capabilities (your ‘pedagogical gifts’);
• gaining insight into the future world of work and the skills your students will require to be successful;
• exploring future learning scenarios and the impact on students learning and engagement;
• learning how to form dynamic school teams; and
• identifying goals to align with your purpose and develop an inspiring action plan.

During the 5 weeks you will have access to:

• a self-paced, module-based online learning program. You will be able to progress through the 5 modules at your own pace.
• information, resources and templates to support your learning journey.
• a weekly, live 1-hour mastermind session with Karen where we will discuss the content and dive deep into how you can successfully apply your learnings.
• a private Teachers with Purpose community (+ ongoing access to this community space beyond the 5-week program).
• Bonus sessions with guest educators.

During 2020 we all had to change the way we delivered learning experiences for kids. The buzz word ‘pivot’ was heard across multiple environments, not just education.

As a Global Genius Educator, Karen was involved in a number of learning programs that had to be moved swiftly (and effectively) to a virtual learning environment and experience for pre-teens and teens. Some of these virtual learning programs were over a few days and others were spread over several weeks.

This webinar is a reflection on the design, preparation, delivery and evaluation of these virtual learning experiences with a global student cohort.

Karen will share some of the core principles she used in designing and delivering remote learning across different time zones. She will also share teaching and learning strategies used to facilitate this virtual teaching and learning delivery.

Outcomes for attendee:

• Consider 5 core principles of remote learning
• Explore practical applications
• Design learning opportunities
• Apply strategies to your work environment
