Rethinking Education.
Created to inspire educators across the world, this brand new on-demand webinar series, ‘Rethinking Education’ explores experts’ innovative ideas on teaching and learning, while theorising what could change to improve the education process.
So, what’s the series about?
In our ever-evolving digitally advanced world, is the current curriculum falling short? Are we teaching the next generation the right lessons? Tune in and watch as Adobe Education Evangelist, Dominic Traynor poses some provocative questions to leading educators.
What’s more, each episode provides a bespoke CPD exercise and an Adobe Spark teaching resource to support you (and them) as we journey towards a more digitally focused education system.

Episode 1: How will we live, learn and work in the future?
Talking about the challenges and opportunities that the COVID-19 pandemic has unearthed, David and Dominic discuss the potential good that could come from school closures. Is now the perfect time to innovate and adapt the curriculum to match future demands? How might we make important incremental changes, without overwhelming our already overworked teachers? Is there merit in moving away from ‘subject silos’?

Episode 2: How can we raise the profile of creativity in schools?
Join Andria and Dominic as they discuss the value of creativity – both in school and in business. There’s been a noteable decline in arts subjects being selected and it’s abundantly clear that Art Teacher, Andria is passionate about re-educating people. From acquiring ‘C-Levels’ in critical thinking, communication and collaboration to understanding the breadth of career opportunities that the arts can offer, discover why creativity is so crucial in schools.

Episode 3: How and why should we apply ‘dual coding theory’ to our teaching practice?

Watch as they discuss learning styles and the best-practice principles of teaching. Oliver educates us on the visual strategies that Allan Paivio first introduced in 1971 and explains what makes them so valuable in helping students to digest information.
