Held in conjunction with the ASERA Conference, Teachers’ Day is a dedicated professional learning event open to all teachers across primary, secondary, and tertiary contexts. This full-day program brings together classroom teachers, curriculum leaders, researchers, and STEM innovators to explore bridging practice and innovation in science education.
Participants will engage with practical, evidence-informed approaches to curriculum coherence, inclusive STEM, school–industry partnerships, applied statistics, emotion-responsive pedagogy, and the responsible use of generative AI. Featuring keynote insights from the Queensland Curriculum and Assessment Authority (QCAA), interactive parallel sessions, and a closing panel focused on classroom impact, Teachers’ Day offers rich opportunities for professional dialogue, networking, and take-away strategies to support future-focused science teaching.
The following event is open to teachers and requires purchasing a separate registration product. See the flier for more details – below.
The ECCE Research team is offering 2 workshops
Stream 3: Climate Change Education and Regenerative Learning – 1040 – 1230 (110 mins) – Peta White, Russell Tytler, Joe Ferguson, Amrita Kamath, Fernanda Rezende, Amanda Peters – Deakin University. We describe approaches to science education that develop student agency and sustainable futures with a focus on the PISA Frameworks (2025 Science and 2029 Climate Literacy) and how to explore socio-ecological challenges (local and global). We will present case studies from school-based research focussing on upper primary and lower secondary. We will offer hands-on activities that can be adapted.
Stream 3: Contemporary Science Practice in Schools – 1310 – 1440 (90 mins) – Peta White, Russell Tytler, Joe Ferguson, Amrita Kamath, Fernanda Rezende, Amanda Peters – Deakin University. We describe ways of infusing contemporary research science (including climate change related science) into classroom science practices. Case studies include learning sequences from school-based research focussing on upper primary and lower secondary. We will offer hands-on activities that can be adapted.
