Summit
Welcome
It is with great pleasure that I welcome you to the third annual Teaching Matters Science of Learning Summit. This year’s theme of ‘Knowledge, Truth, Freedom’ takes us beyond the classroom by examining how best practice pedagogy paves the way for the lifelong success of our students.
Since we began our own journey, our goal has been to empower teachers with innovative and exciting techniques that truly inspire young people to achieve their best outcome through learning. This year’s keynote speakers will deliver some enlightening presentations to enhance skills, grow confidence and instil pride in a worthy vocation.
Our 2025 Summit also seeks to enable leaders looking to commence or shape their own journey into the Science of Learning. Through hearing from, and networking with, some of the sharpest minds in education, Science of Learning pedagogical practices can be increasingly adopted state-wide.
Together, let’s unlock the pathways to intellectual freedom through the pursuit of excellence in education.
