Presented in association with Australian ECSI Professional Learning Consortium.
Welcome
On behalf of Catholic Theological College, University of Divinity, and the Australian ECSI Professional Learning Consortium, it gives me great pleasure to invite you to the Recontextualising Pedagogy 2021 National Conference. The conference grew out of a wish to share research by a team of Victorian Catholic Education System leaders who worked with teachers to learn more about developing teacher practice in recontextualization. The focus of the conference has since been expanded to celebrate the response of Catholic education in Victoria, New South Wales, Queensland and South Australia to the findings of ongoing ECSI research and the call to promote a recontextualising dialogue approach.
Conference Program
The conference program/timetable is to download as a pdf.
- Dates:
- Monday 29 November: 9am – 6pm (AEDT)
- Tuesday 30 November: 9am – 4pm (AEDT)
- Cost: $250 per person for 2 days
Workshops
The call for workshops has resulted in 21 offerings around four areas as they pertain to recontextualisation:
- Leadership in the ECSI Space
- Teacher Practice for Recontextualisation
- Teacher Professional Formation for Recontextualisation
- Student Agency in Religious Education
Workshops are facilitated by leaders and practitioners from all areas of Catholic Education who offer their experience, expertise and practical insights into recontextualizing approaches. Keynote speakers from Victoria, New South Wales and Leuven re-think the implications of recontextualization for teachers, students and the broader Church. A panel discussion involving some of those involved in the CTC sponsored research into recontextualization will share their first-hand experiences. For full details of Keynotes, workshops, presenters and to register your choice of workshops see the web page link on the flyer attached.
