COURSE DESCRIPTION
The Graduate Certificate in Practice Innovation is designed with a pragmatic purpose and will assist you or your team working in the field of education to prepare, experiment, evaluate, and report on a project.
The course will build upon your existing knowledge base and experience as well as offer a scholarly research component.
A great feature of this course is that a workplace can study as a group: the facilitated innovation project can be taken as a cohort of other educators who share a common educational context.
The facilitated innovation project is based on principles of design research and will guide you to prepare a project relevant to your role. You will evaluate your innovation using evidence of practice gathered during your experimentation, and then report your analysis to others.
We know that educators are innovators and want to impact their learning environment for good and for God. CHC will flexibly support education innovation with holistic growth in mind.
CAREER ADVANCEMENT
By doing this course and completing the facilitated innovation project, teachers will find they have developed knowledge and skills, and accompanying evidence of practice, to support Highly Accomplished or Lead Teacher (HALT) certification from the Australian Institute for Teaching and School Leadership.
