Upon reflecting on my experiences at St Luke’s Catholic College, I ponder on the words of a ‘new normal’. These words expressed by Dziuban, Graham, Moskal, Norberg & Sicilia enforce the idea of an emerging blended learning experience in education (2018). Yet, these words were first expressed to me by our innovative Principal, Greg Miller, at my first encounter of St Luke’s. This idea seemed to ignite a shift in my pedagogical thinking that was fragile with the contradictions of systemic traditional school context. The curiosity for intrinsic motivation in a world of lifelong learning had abolished my previous emphasis of summative assessment. In an environment void of the lurking HSC, it was a refreshing experience to evaluate authentic learning for what it was.
As a reflective practitioner, I am honestly excited to commence another year in a revolutionary educational setting. This year I have ambitions to excel my teaching and learning by implementing the various Professional Learning that I have been fortunate to attend in 2020. In particular, I am finding that I am able to think more creatively about my role as a facilitator of learning in an innovative context. This is demonstrated through enriching entry events whereby my vision is to create activities that prompt students to inquire into the topic so they discover the answers and relay this back to the class.
