The Lecture will be delivered by Professor John Hattie, Laureate Professor Emeritus, Melbourne Graduate School of Education, The University of Melbourne, in mid-May 2023.

In this Lecture, Professor Hattie will discuss the importance of educator expertise, evaluative thinking, intentionally aligning teaching with the depth of complexity within lessons, and ensuring schools are seen by students as inviting, safe, and fair to make errors, learn with peers, and where they have great teachers by design not by chance.
