Message from the Executive Director
Dear Colleagues
Welcome to the AISWA Professional Learning Catalogue. Over the years AISWA has always planned
professional learning opportunities for schools and their teachers, leaders and governing body
members, which will lead to school improvement and better outcomes for students. It is hoped this
catalogue which outlines the range of offerings for Semester 1, 2016 is useful as a reference for all
schools and their communities.
While there will be additional professional learning opportunities publicised during the year, this
publication represents the range of offerings that will be presented by AISWA over the next 6 months.
We invite you to look through the catalogue, see what you need and join us to work together for
excellence in schools. As we all know the path of school improvement is never ending and one of our
roles is to work with schools to support your progress along that path.
Valerie Gould
Message from the Deputy Director
Dear Colleagues
Welcome to the 2016 school year. This publication presents a comprehensive range of professional
learning for teachers and leaders in Western Australian Independent Schools across all levels of
schooling.
The professional learning opportunities are offered in line with the key agendas of the Melbourne
Declaration, The Western Australian Curriculum, National Quality Standards and the Australian Institute
for Teaching and School Leadership. The breadth and diversity that is available to teachers and leaders
provides the opportunity for all students to succeed at school and contribute to their worlds beyond
schooling.
The offerings contribute towards imparting the skills and capacities young people need to be productive
members of the workforce and their communities, give young people access to a broad swath of
knowledge and ideas and inculcate the desire and ability to learn throughout life.
I look forward to your participation in the work of AISWA as it serves you this year and beyond.

About AISWA
Professional Learning
The Association of Independent Schools of Western Australia (AISWA) was
established in 1962 as a non-profit organisation to support, represent and
promote the interests of Independent Schools. AISWA is incorporated under
the Industrial Relations Act.
AISWA creates and delivers high quality Professional Learning (PL) so that schools can keep up with the ever-changing educational
landscape.
AISWA’s constituent members include over one hundred and fifty five
Independent Schools. Its member schools educate over 75,000 students
accounting for just over 16% of Western Australian school enrolments. These
schools employ over 5,500 teaching and over 3,500 non-teaching staff.
Our Vision
For Independent Schools to be acknowledged and recognised as valued
providers of education in Western Australia.
Our Mission
To promote a strong Independent School sector which offers high quality
education appropriate to the needs of Western Australian children. To fulfil
our vision and mission, the association has developed a Strategic Plan that will
support schools in the independent sector and lead to increased recognition of
the value the Independent School sector provides to all Western Australians.
AISWA Website
AISWA provides a comprehensive suite of PL experiences to suit the complex and diverse needs within the Independent School
sector - a one-size-fits-all approach simply does not apply. These PL experiences include school-based training, seminars, hands-on
workshops, conferences, network meetings, study tours, online courses, licenced/partnership training initiatives and one-on-one
consultation.
AISWA PL is developed or negotiated by AISWA’s team of consultants to support the wide range of professional needs of school
staff including teaching, leadership, governing, administrative and support personnel.

The course will be facilitated over five days and is suitable for those who are currently
in middle leadership roles, teachers who aspire to leadership and for new leaders. It
aims to provide participants with the tools, frameworks and knowledge required in a
leadership position today. Previous participants have commented on the fact that the
course is both an inner and an outer learning journey as a great deal of importance
is placed on self-reflection. Attention is paid to the development of self as well as to
numerous other aspects of leadership.
The course will cover a brief introduction to contemporary leadership theory and
change management. It will also include whole school planning using the National
School Improvement Tool as well as an in depth examination of the AITSL Lead
Teacher Standard from the Australian Professional Standards for teachers and the
Australian Professional Standard for Principals. The course will require time for

WHO ARE THESE MEETINGS FOR:
These afternoon network meetings are for anyone interested in gender equality
and the role of women in educational leadership. The meetings are held at various
member schools in the metropolitan area in Terms 1, 2 and 4 with a conference or
summit being held in Term 3. The meetings usually allow for networking from 4.30pm
to 5.00pm followed by a speaker from 5.00pm to around 5.30pm. The meeting
concludes with refreshments and further networking opportunities.
Venues and speakers for these meetings will be advised closer to the date of each
meetings. Communication will be with network members and flyers will be sent to
member schools to advise the details of the meeting.
‘As many teachers, particularly women, do not consider leadership roles until it is
suggested to them by someone else, the identification and development of potential
leaders needs to be formalised, rather than just being left to chance.’

TARGET AUDIENCE:
Developing self and others is one of the professional practices of the Australian
Professional Standard for Principals. This 1-day professional learning opportunity is
for those in leadership roles who wish to explore this professional practice and how
it is described in the Leadership Profiles. The course is not exclusively for Principals
and senior leaders but also for middle leaders or those who are working at the highly
accomplished or lead teacher stage of the Australian Professional Standards for
Teachers.
TARGET AUDIENCE:
The program for this day is designed for Principals and other school leaders who wish
to unpack this professional practice as cited in the Australian Professional Standard
for Principals (‘the Standard’) in some detail and to reflect on their practice in this
area. Participants will also use the Leadership Profiles to enable the professional
practice to be seen in greater detail and at increasing levels of proficiency.
This program will look at six models of classroom observation and provide
opportunities for participants to reflect on which of these best suits their context.
Participants will learn key skills and practices to build a shared understanding of what
it looks like to improve the quality of their teaching using the Classroom Observation
Profiles developed by AITSL. The program will also provide the opportunity to
investigate the introduction of a collegiate cognitive coaching model.

TARGET AUDIENCE:
This course is aimed at those who want to introduce or enrich the value of classroom
observation and conversations which are happening in their school. Regular
observation and feedback on performance is one of the most powerful ways to build
teacher practice and capacity across a school. This program will be most beneficial if 2
or 3 key teachers can attend and work together to plan for improvement.

Stage 1 submission.
National Certification - Highly Accomplished
and Lead Teacher (Information Session)
Dealing Effectively with Poor Employee
Performance
National Certification of Highly Accomplished and Lead Teachers has three primary
purposes:
• Recognise and promote quality teaching
• Provide an opportunity for teachers to reflect on their practice
• Provide a reliable indication of quality teaching that can be used to identify and
recognise Highly Accomplished and Lead Teachers.
Effective management of poor employee behaviour is based on a number of very
clear premises:
• the school has a clearly defined, published and well understood vision and
mission (the ethos);
• the school has employee behaviour policies in place to ensure that the vision and
the mission are ENACTED by all staff within the parameters of the school’s ethos;
and
• all staff know, understand and ACCEPT the policies and guidelines regarding
employee behaviour and the clear link to the school ethos.
AISWA is the certifying authority for teachers from Independent Schools in Western
Australia and provides information sessions; workshops on developing and annotating
submissions of evidence; and advice on preparing for site visits.
TARGET AUDIENCE:
This session is for expert teachers who are keen to stay in the classroom but who are
looking for the next challenge in building their practice. This is a national accreditation
program. National certification based on the Australian Professional Standards for
Teachers is voluntary and will ensure that teachers, in every system and sector, have
access to a rigorous and transparent process that recognises Highly Accomplished and
Lead Teachers and is portable throughout Australia.

Inclusive Leadership 2016 Series
Leading Pastoral Care in Schools
Driving the way forward for inclusive schools - What all school leaders
need to know
Australian school student care is regarded among the best in the world but the same
cannot be said for staff care programs.
Back by popular demand, following on from the Inclusive Leadership series of 2014,
we offer a further opportunity to embark upon the next level towards Inclusive
Leadership in managing the change required in pursuing a culture of inclusivity in
schools. Topics covered will be student voice, the most efficient and effective use of
para professionals, from Good to Great and Differentiation.
Why have so few Australian schools made wellness a major priority for their staff
albeit their school community?
TARGET AUDIENCE:
This is a four part series with a focus on visionary leadership for Principals, school
leaders, Deputy Principals and Head of Departments to further explore inclusive
leadership and change management in order to facilitate a culture of inclusivity within
your school.
Inclusion is not a strategy to help people fit into the systems and structures which exist
in our societies; it is about transforming those systems and structures to make it better
for everyone. Inclusion is about creating a better world for everyone.

Knowing and Understanding Boys in Every
Classroom
21st Century Learning Design
Over two days participants work together in a collaborative and supportive
environment to:
• Identify and define key 21CLD skill sets

Sharp Reading: Meeting needs and making reading manageable
www.sharpreading.com
Sharp Reading has been developed by Hilton Ayrey and Brian Parker who are teachers and teacher trainers
from Christchurch, New Zealand. Sharp Reading is based on the most up to date research in literacy and is
the culmination of 10 years of action research at the New Zealand Graduate School of Education, including
ongoing engagement with schools.
Workshop Focus: Sharp Reading, Stage
1&2, Decoding Strategy Instruction (K-3)
21 March 2016
Set students up for success through
simple routines that embed mental
strategies for decoding text. Through
supporting meaning and scaffolding the
skills for word attack, students internalise
strong, transferrable strategies to decode
text across contexts.
Workshop Focus: Sharp Reading, Stage
3, Comprehension Strategy Instruction
(Years 3-10)
22 March 2016
Whether working one-to-one, in small
groups, or with the whole class, this
approach to reading comprehension
instruction is simple and effective.
Comprehending at a sentence level
engages students in active reading and
deepens their understanding of the text,
motivating them to practise the reading
strategies they need to succeed.
Workshop Focus: Sharp Reading,
Stages 4-5, Comprehending for deeper
understanding with ‘The Deep Five’
routine (Years 3 – 10).
As students progress through school,
they encounter increasingly complex
texts providing challenges for both
students and teachers. Remove the risk,
focus the Stage 3 strategy, and add deep
comprehension strategies to sentence
level comprehension, developing
students’ ability to analyse and think
critically about the text.
A pre-requisite for Stages 4-5 workshop
is the Stage 3 workshop.
Workshop Focus: Sharp Reading,
Struggling Older Reader + SevenPlus
(Years 3-10)
Learn to use simple scaffolds to
build independence in decoding and
comprehension skills. Students who
are struggling to cope with increasingly
demanding levels of text as they progress
through primary and into high school,
will benefit from this intervention
routine.

STEM
Amplify
The Australian Government has committed an extra $12 million
to focus on and increase student uptake of science, technology,
engineering and mathematics (STEM) subjects in primary and
secondary schools across the country.
Amplify is an ambitious new initiative from AISWA and
Innovation Unit Australia. Our aim is to increase the proportion
of Australian students who are deeply engaged in their
learning, through the development of teaching, learning and
assessment practices that promote engagement.
The focus on STEM subjects is about ensuring Australia’s young
adults are equipped with the necessary skills to meet the needs
of the workforce, to drive forward Australia’s economy and
to produce STEM literate citizens capable of making informed
decisions on local and global issues.
STEM education is an integrated, interdisciplinary approach
to learning that provides hands-on and relevant learning
experiences for students. STEM teaching and learning goes
beyond the mere transfer of knowledge, it engages students
and equips them with critical thinking, problem solving,
creative and collaborative skills, and ultimately establishes
connections between the school, work place, community and
the global economy.
Over the coming year, and beyond, we will work with
interested schools to establish a ‘community of practice’. We
will provide the professional learning, support and work with
the ‘community of practice’ to develop and implement bold
new professional practices that engage students in meaningful
learning.
AISWA is dedicated to inspiring teachers with professional
development and support to deliver contemporary programs
using contemporary pedagogy.
Communities of practice create opportunities for collaboration
and partnership across different contexts.
They enable schools to:
Along with inspiring students by encouraging curiosity and
creativity through inquiry-based learning to engage students in
topics and projects linked to ‘real-world’ applications.

WHAT IS A COMMUNITY OF PRACTICE?
A community of practice is a group of educators with a shared
passion, concern, or belief (domain) who will engage in a
process of collective learning in order to develop new practices
that engage students in powerful learning. Collaboratively
they will learn with and from one another in order to generate
new insights, practices and evidence. In this community, the
design of new practices becomes richer through the diversity
of those involved. Each member brings a wealth of different
perspectives, professional knowledge, context and experience
to the collective wisdom, challenging participants to test
assumptions, immerse themselves in new knowledge and
consider ideas and strategies they might not normally have
the opportunity to explore. A community of practice values
and builds the shared repertoire, resources, knowledge and
experiences of all participants to overcome the barriers and
take advantage of opportunities they may encounter along the
journey towards designing new practice. There are many great
reasons for schools to engage in this work together.
•
share activities and resources (intellectual and physical)
that might not otherwise be possible as a single school
help to accurately calculate and manage risk
expand opportunities to be creative about common
challenges
develop a more robust evidence base for their work.

Inclusivity
and
Wellbeing
The Melbourne Declaration on Education Goals for Young Australians
state that ‘all Australian governments and all school sectors must
provide all students with access to high-quality schooling that is free
from discrimination’ Everyone wants to feel that they belong and are
valued in their school community as it a centrally important place for
young people - where they learn academic knowledge and the skills of
friendship, building relationships and social justice principles. AISWA
endeavours to support schools and teachers to meet these essential
elements of school inclusivity and wellbeing.
Research has shown that students who feel more accepted,
included and involved in their school are more likely to be
engaged in classroom learning, in extracurricular activities,
in interpersonal relationships, and in the wider school
community
