In particular, there is\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/pii\/S1747938X1500024X\">growing evidence<\/a>\u00a0that teacher collaboration can lead to more satisfied teachers while producing better outcomes for students.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>What does Gonski say?<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>The positive impact of active collaboration is summarised in the report on page 58:<\/p>\n<p><em>Teacher collaboration occurs in many forms, however not all types are equally effective. Active collaboration \u2014 such as peer observation and feedback, coaching, mentoring, team teaching and joint research projects \u2014 allows teachers to learn from each other and typically has a positive impact on students. In contrast, collaboration that concentrates on simply sharing resources, planning activities or administrative issues has little or no positive effect on student achievement.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>While the report flags the need for action on embedding professional collaboration in everyday teaching practice, it doesn\u2019t provide much in the way of suggestions for how to achieve this. This\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.smh.com.au\/education\/gonski-2-0-report-a-fail-20180430-p4zci8.html\">criticism<\/a>\u00a0has been repeated by many in education.<\/p>\n<p>While active collaboration between teachers has long been recognised and encouraged (for example, as a part of the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.aitsl.edu.au\/teach\/standards\">AITSL teacher professional standards<\/a>), the reality for many teachers is there is precious little time in which to collaborate.

It\u2019s particularly popular in education because design thinking is\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.springer.com\/us\/book\/9789812874436\">a great way to learn 21st century skills<\/a>, such as creativity and critical thinking. If teachers develop these skills themselves, then they are in a better position to teach them.<\/p>\n<p>Design thinking is not just about knowing the design process and having the tools to use it, but also about adopting a\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/link.springer.com\/chapter\/10.1007\/978-981-287-047-6_3\">design thinking mindset<\/a>.

Author provided, Author provided (No reuse)<\/p><\/div>\n<p>The first problem that we have worked on is the planning of a term of work for the new\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.australiancurriculum.edu.au\/f-10-curriculum\/technologies\/digital-technologies\/\">ACARA Digital Technologies curriculum<\/a>. Instead of teachers working individually, we work with school leadership to create time and space for them to work as a group. We support them in framing the problem, developing student-centered ideas, and preparing classes. Teachers learn to adopt a design thinking mindset simply by taking part in this process.<\/p>\n<p>For example, some teachers implicitly conceive of curriculum planning as \u201cmaking sure that the curriculum gets covered\u201d. We challenge them to work as a team to reframe the problem through a\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.designkit.org\/methods\/63\">journey-mapping<\/a>exercise. We find they come up with a new frame such as \u201ckeeping students as engaged as possible for an entire term\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>We also use exercises such as\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.interaction-design.org\/literature\/article\/personas-why-and-how-you-should-use-them\">developing personas<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.designkit.org\/methods\/28\">brainstorming<\/a>\u00a0to come up with ideas that are more \u201cout there\u201d than they might first think possible. We then provide the technological and content knowledge to help them achieve their goals.<\/p>\n<p>This form of facilitated collaboration with teachers around design tasks has had success. Preliminary results show that teachers feel supported (because they can draw on the help of a team), happy (because collaboration is one of the\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/psycnet.apa.org\/record\/2000-13324-007\">fundamental drivers<\/a>\u00a0of professional satisfaction), and empowered (because they see the results with the students).<\/p>\n<p>The challenge presented by the Gonski 2.0 report is these benefits need to be scalable \u2014 teachers across the country all need to have these opportunities to collaborate meaningfully.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Sharing the knowledge<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Our research (based on\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/dl.acm.org\/citation.cfm?id=1150122\">earlier international work<\/a>) provides evidence we can achieve this goal by:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Instilling a\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/link.springer.com\/article\/10.1007\/s10798-017-9429-9\">design thinking mindset<\/a>\u00a0in teachers. This has been proven to be a great way to create the space for meaningful collaboration, while developing the capacity of teachers for teaching\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.aitsl.edu.au\/tools-resources\/resource\/21st-century-education\">creativity, critical thinking and interpersonal skills<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li>Using\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.digitech.designteachers.org\/\">co-design as professional development<\/a>\u00a0to meet these needs in a way that could reach every teacher across a state, through a combination of face-to-face and online workshops.<\/li>\n<li>Sustaining these partnerships over time by creating\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/eprints.qut.edu.au\/90985\/\">online spaces<\/a>\u00a0for teachers that enable them to\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.palgrave.com\/gp\/book\/9781137503015\">share and re-use knowledge<\/a>\u00a0but that remain connected to real-world institutions and events. For example, we developed a\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/designteachersqld.org\/\">community of design teachers in Queensland<\/a>\u00a0that was underpinned by professional development workshops and support of teacher associations.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>These three pillars provide a direct way of responding to the recommendation in Gonski 2.0 for better teacher collaboration.<\/p>\n<p>Our proposal is to shift funding away from the approaches that have defined the past decade \u2014 like\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.scootle.edu.au\/ec\/p\/home\">online databases of resources<\/a>\u00a0that give little context,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/eprints.qut.edu.au\/90985\/\">\u201cstandalone\u201d online communities<\/a>\u00a0that are divorced from real-world organisations, or\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/outlier.uchicago.edu\/computerscience\/OS4CS\/landscapestudy\/resources\/Darling-Hammond-and-Richardson-2009.pdf\">\u201cdriveby\u201d professional development workshops<\/a>. Funding should instead be put towards the provision of co-design teams that provide the link between professional development, online resources and online communities.<\/p>\n<p>Further, co-design is a meaningful way of sharing learning between schools. Each time we work with a school we are able to share with them resources and advice from our work with previous schools.<\/p>\n<p>For example, one rural school we worked with took a term-long project that had been successful in a city, and adapted the assignment to make it fit the rural context. Most of the lessons needed only minor changes, and the result was the rural students felt the project spoke directly to their own experiences.<\/p>\n<p>Gonski 2.0 presents an excellent opportunity for us to re-evaluate how we nurture, support and provision our teachers. The report states:<\/p>\n<p><em>For teachers to fulfil their role as expert educators, schools need to be seen as professional learning organisations. They need to develop a culture that values continuous learning where teachers, as well as students, can feel safe to admit gaps in knowledge and understanding.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>We believe that this culture of collaboration, growth and experimentation is best achieved when teachers adopt a design thinking mindset. Teachers come to adopt a design thinking mindset through a combination of design experience, professional development and ongoing support. Co-design presents an excellent way to achieve all three.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Author Bios: <\/strong>Nick Kelly is a Senior research fellow, Jeremy Kerr is a Lecturer,Les Dawes is a Professor Engineering Education and Natalie Wright is a Lecturer in interior design all at the Queensland University of Technology<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The recent release of the\u00a0Gonski 2.0 report\u00a0has done an excellent job of\u00a0re-opening the conversation\u00a0around how our schools could better fulfil their purpose.
