Pivot recently collaborated with Dr Tim Patston to help schools better understand Creativity in Education. Tim is the leader of Creative Actions, who offer a range of professional learning opportunities to help build language and competencies in teaching, through creativity. Creativity in the classroom has a strong impact on the wellbeing of both teachers and students, which has been essential in the post-covid classroom.

We have been in the Student Wellbeing space since 2020 when we identified this critical need for data-driven wellbeing support mechanisms and launched the Wellbeing for Learning Program.

In this research from OECD Education and Skills, it is great to see Australian schools statistically above average for creative thinking. We have recently done exciting work with Dr Tim Patston, the leader of Creative Actions consultancy activities, where together we developed new additional questions that schools using Pivot's Student Survey on Teaching can add to their next survey cycle. This provides deeper insights into areas of interest such as creativity in education.

It is amazing to see passionate educators getting their students involved in important topics like Cyber Safety. We look forward to seeing the outcome of this initiative.

In a recent survey of Pivot Wellbeing for Learning Program Users, we found that 81% of respondents indicated that the survey captured new data that they would otherwise not have access to. On top of this, it has help to open up conversations about wellbeing within the classroom, and increase the understanding of their student's own wellbeing. By providing students with a way to reach out for help or support in a timely manner, it has made a huge impact on overall wellbeing for schools who use the Pivot Program.

Terrific news on explicit phonics instruction moving into Victorian schools! Of course our fabulous Pivot Professional Learning schools have been using our student perception survey on teaching, with Pamela Snow’s additional questions on explicit phonics, from 2018. Asking students to provide feedback on specific teaching practices in literacy instruction - like other areas of teaching, including maths - provides teachers and leaders with tangible, actionable insights on how teaching and learning is going in each classroom. And Pivot Professional Learning insights dashboards provides an excellent ‘line of sight’ on phonics rollouts for government and system leaders, too. Kudos to Ben Carroll - and congrats on the advocacy by so many for so long Pamela Snow Tanya Serry Jordana Hunter Jessica Del Rio Julie Sonnemann Katie Roberts-Hull Dr Jennifer Buckingham
