Intuyu Consulting believes it is not only possible but critical to empower teachers, students and parents to work together in empowering and enabling young people to be leaders and have 21st century skills for a world of exponential change. We firmly believe that if we continue to maintain the status quo in education then we will be suppressing the future. We are passionate about having people THINK and having schools develop curriculum and learning environments that not only engage everyone involved but create a powerful

We are at the beginning of the most profound shift in paradigms for society. The confluence of population boom since the 1950's and the exponential growth of computing power and technology is leading to a world of constant and exponential change. Many if the jobs and careers that children beginning school today will be in during their lifetime HAVE NOT BEEN INVENTED YET! Yet many of our school environments are nto well set up to address this world.

The advent of “Essential Learning Standards” and "Quality Learning" around Australia as well as the upcoming National Curriculum has forced many primary and secondary schools to re-evaluate how they teach their curriculum. There has been an increasing shift towards integrated learning centres, team teaching and having a negotiated curriculum.

However most schools, and teachers, struggle with the shift.

Many schools and teachers are caught in redefining their role in the classroom and how they operate as teachers. Some schools have done this really well, but most schools are in the early stages of shifting their thinking and their curriculum.

A cultural shift is required in the way that many schools organise themselves, their timetabling, their teaching and learning approaches, and even their relationship with parents and students.

Teachers must move from purely imparting content knowledge through to being the facilitators of learning. In the process teachers and schools must themselves learn the skills to be great coaches, facilitators and have the students become responsible for their own learning.

Intuyu Consulting was formed with the intention to partner schools and teachers in being able to meet the diverse challenges that the 21st Century pose to education. We have developed models and approaches that empower and enable teachers and administrators to practical implement cultural change and develop educational models that work in your environment in your time.

We don't tell you what to do ... we facilitate the development of your thinking and structures so you can develop what works best for you.

School Leadership and Parent Workshops

Key to creating an supportive environment for student learning is designing empowering school structural processes and systems and creating a connected parental environment for the students.

Intuyu Consulting acts as a Critical Friend for school leadership teams as they examine and explore the cultural shift required to move their teaching and learning environment into the 21st Century.

We also provide evening seminars at your school for parents to educate and connect parents with the shift occuring within the school. We provide the expert knowledge and outside experience to have parents appreciate and partner schools in creating an inclusive and empowering learnign environment.

Teacher Professional Development Workshops

The teacher PD workshops are designed to empower and enable teachers and schools to shift their thinking and give them access to powerfully creating an environment of learning amongst teachers, students and parents. Using a mixture of videos, interactive inquiry, and hands-on learning, teachers are coached to design authentic, real-life and practical units that leave students engaged and developing their inter- and intra-personal capacities.

Teachers will:

• See how inquiry-based learning can engage and motivate students far beyond traditional methods.
• Examine how curriculum moves from facts to projects and develops life-long learning.
• Recognize the importance of integration for an effective, concept-based curriculum.
• Learn how to scaffold to more sophisticated levels that meet differentiated needs.

Workshops can be tailored to the group of teachers … from introductory inquiry-based sessions to working with teaching groups to link and plan their year-long or term-long KLAs and integrated units with an inquiry-based approach.

Teachers will also be provided with a range of materials that will assist the facilitation of the learning process. 

 

Workshops for students and community organisations

Intuyu Consulting also runs a range of workshops for students from Grade 3 - Year 11 as well as for community organisations. Workshops range from climate change presentations, to empowering indigeneous students, through to workshops that allow students to create projects that make a difference.
