Prepare and plan for EdWeek20
Great ideas to help get your school community ready for Education Week 2020.
- Establish an Education Week committee.
- Some questions the committee will need to ask include:
- How do we embrace the theme, Learning together, at our school?
- How can we involve students and parents in Education Week planning?
- Who and what will we profile during Education Week?
- How can we showcase our teachers, parents and students this Education Week?
- Who will we celebrate with?
- Some questions the committee will need to ask include:
- Conduct a survey of your school community to evaluate parents' learning from home experiences and how parents interact with their children's learning.
- Invite your school Parents and Citizens group to make a video for the school Facebook on the theme, Learning together.
- Promote the Film by ... Invitation student film festival among your students and plan a virtual cinema experience on the day.
- Invite school alumni to contribute to a video you can play at a school assembly that showcases their learning journey and inspires students about the opportunities learning opens in life.
- Host a school competition for the most innovative ideas that can promote how your school community learns together, with the winner/s announced in Education Week.
- Have teachers and students fill an empty frame with a representation of Learning together and hold a (virtual) art exhibition during Education Week.
- Workshop teaching and learning ideas staff can utilise to promote and highlight your school community is learning together in the lead-up to Education Week.
- Tuesday 4 August is National Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander Children’s Day. Research how you can mark this special day at your school.
