Professional Development Opportunities for 2019
The Country Education Partnership is pleased to provide a range of high-quality professional learning opportunities for rural and remote education communities in 2019.
Following feedback from our members, we’ve made a commitment to stage these activities within country communities, ensuring greater access for education leaders and educators from our rural and remote schools.
Accordingly, we are pleased to announce the following professional development opportunities:
International Presenters
Steve Munby
Steve’s professional development workshop will be held in Swan Hill and the North East during the final two weeks of Term I.
The workshop will involve a series of interactive sessions, exploring a range of topics under the key areas of:
- The Power and Love of Leadership
- Collaborative and Lateral Leadership — exploring precise practices that support colleagues with equal measure of respect and expectation
- Creating Professional Cultures of Challenge and Shared Responsibility
Steve will draw on his extensive experience as an educator, education leader and keynote presenter when delivering this powerful workshop, which underlines the impact of strong leadership in a classroom setting.

Sir John Jones
Sir John’s CEP full day workshops are booked from Wednesday, May 22 to Friday, May 24 in locations in the North East, South West and Melbourne in Victoria, as well as Adelaide on Monday, 20th May; Brisbane on Monday, 27tt May; Newcastle on Thursday, 30th May with the specific locations to be confirmed in coming weeks.
The workshops will draw inspiration from his best-selling book: “The Magic-Weaving Business – Finding the Heart of Learning and Teaching”.
Sir John will remind teachers of the tremendous power they have to transform lives but will also explore how a teacher’s role must adapt in a rapidly-changing world, adopting the philosophy, “change is mandatory but growth is optional”.
Additionally, he will explore new thinking around free learning, growth mindsets, school-in-the-cloud and expeditionary learning.
