Description
Join AISWA and Nurture for a collaborative morning bringing together Nurture 2026 Pilot Schools and other interested schools to connect, share experiences and explore the next phase of the Nurture journey.
Hosted at Penrhos College, the event will provide an opportunity for schools to come together to reflect on their experiences with Nurture, share emerging insights and consider how the program and its supporting tools can continue to develop in practice.
The morning will include a facilitated discussion focused on school experiences, an opportunity to provide initial feedback on Nurture Learn and Nurture Signal, and time to connect with colleagues from across participating and interested schools.
Participants will also hear from Dylan Wiliam (online), providing an opportunity to engage with his thinking and perspectives alongside the collaborative discussions.
The event will conclude with consideration of upcoming Nurture Showcase opportunities and how schools might contribute to sharing their experiences and practice.
