More than 200 educators from all sectors joined Catholic schools for a day of Challenging Learning with global inspiration James Nottingham from the UK.

Thanks to Colleen Cadey-Murphy and Lina Vigliotta who were the driving forces behind this energetic and refreshing opportunity to look at learning from different angles.

Twitter feeds highlighted tremendous motivation to translate into personal practice and local classrooms.

“I found James very motivational and talking about the learning pit and how we can all learn about our mistakes which is something that the children need to hear more often, learning from their mistakes, and teachers as well.” – Amanda, St Joseph’s Primary School Goulburn

“It was inspirational – to be able to hear him for a whole day has been amazing. It gives you so many wonderful ideas that we can take back and use with our children.” – Claire, Mother Teresa School Harrison

“I was interested to hear James focus on ‘progress’ over ‘performance’ which is really positive venacular to adopt. If a child is doing really well, in the middle or struggling, we should always be focused on ‘progressing’ them.”
