The Learner First works with Queensland Schools in the areas of culture change, learning design, and authentic assessment.
With the Ministry of Education in New Zealand, we designed a national initiative that supports teachers to design better learning and improve students’ well-being.
“I’m constantly thinking now… I’m trying to be a lot more intentional about how I design lessons. I want to make sure that they’re purposeful, that they are engaging. I am trying a lot harder to be intentional and purposeful about why I’m doing the lessons I’m doing.”

“Assessment should not serve as a judge, but a guide, giving students direction on where to go next. It ‘fits’ students into the academic system, but should show them how they fit into the world—who they are, where they’re going, and what gives them purpose. It currently separates the ‘good’ from the ‘bad.’ It should find the good in each student and grow it.”

“It’s just the perfect process, I believe, because it’s always putting the learner first, at the centre of all our decision making… And underpinning it the whole way through is the idea of connecting and supporting, checking in, getting all stakeholders involved. It just makes sense. It’s that complete inquiry cycle for school improvement—it really is.”
