This ppt was used to present some of the key ideas from the Project Zero summer institute (in particular David Perkins) to colleagues at the Catholic Education Office Melbourne.
Structure of the course- Two of the big questions threading through the week.....were ‘ What is understanding and how does it develop? What are the components of an effective education for the world that students live in now and will live in 10, 20 or 50 years from now? it is understanding today and tomorrow- gives education an immediacy, education is not something that you will need in the future....... but you need it for now. ...... and at some point today is the past influencing tomorrow
