Keynote speakers for Securing Our Future Conference

21-22 May 2015 Sydney

Professor Peter Hudson (QUT) and Dr Suzanne Hudson (SCU) will headline IEU’s upcoming conference on best practice induction and mentoring.

Both Peter and Sue have extensive classroom teaching and executive experience in Australian schools. They are leading the Teacher Education Done Differently (TEDD) project, a collaborative initiative between QUT, Education Queensland, Brisbane North Institute of TAFE, and staff from school in the Caboolture area.

TEDD received an Australian University Citation Award in 2012 for its programs Applied Learning Experience partnership and Mentoring for Effective Teaching (MET). The latter program seeks to develop mentoring skills for advancing early career teachers’ practices with an emphasis on student differentiated learning.

The upcoming conference, Securing Our Future, will draw together teaching professionals from various sectors to discuss a critical question: What does best practice around induction and mentoring look like? Peter and Sue will enter into this discussion with an invigorating and challenging examination of mentoring and how it can benefit early career teachers, their mentors and therefore the students.
