“Nudge for schools” webinar
Target group
RSAS staff and providers
Summary
Indigenous leader Professor Chris Sarra says there are 3 things we need to close the gap and end Indigenous disadvantage. High Expectations High Expectations High Expectations.
By this he means at every opportunity we must build social norms that expect and celebrate quality engagement in schooling and all of life’s opportunities. The work of “Nudge” is all about putting meat on the bones of this ambition.
Nudge is a model of thinking and working that appreciates how children make choices and nudges those choices in the direction of positive life behaviours.
In this webinar we will build upon the “how” we create more connected schools. We look at the systems symbols and language of a high expectation school and look at ways of changing our behaviour in subtle but effective ways to deliver CREE. Connected Retained Engaged and Employed young Indigenous students.
The topic of the Webinar will be conducted in 2 parts. Part 1 is a Youtube clip and is recommended that you watch prior to attending the scheduled webinar on Thursday 23 Feb.
