Noosa Leads Revolution in Teaching 

The Noosa Teacher Education Centre (NTEC) has a leading role in implementing revolutionary change to Queensland's teaching pratices.

At 4.30pm on Wednesday, April 10, NTEC will welcome the first 45 teachers and principals enrolled in an in-service program focused on individual management of student learning.

The first cohort will take part in a debate led by leading educational innovators and a futurist.

Education Queensland's Nambour District Direct Rob McAlpine said the MLM was a significant mechanism in preparing the teaching workforce for the needs of 2010.

Mr McAlpine said the MLM was focused on achieving the best possible outcomes for children in Queensland classrooms.

According to NTEC coordinator David Lynch, the Master of Learning Management program to be introduced Statewide, advocates a complete reshaping of teaching pratice.

"MLM has a focus on outcomes for children and will revolutionalize post-graduate study programs for practising teachers," he said.

"Features include customised learning, embedded technology considerations, modern-day delivery modes, upmarket teaching facilities and a program linked to the modern-day needs of teachers and principals." The MLM was designed via a partnership between Education Queensland and Central Queensland University's Faculty of Education and Creative Arts, and in consultation with other education employers.
