Part of our Teacher Support Workshops Series, we explore ways to design and develop Learning Outcomes towards coherent and high quality Music and Creative Arts workshops or learning experiences.
This is perfect for existing or emerging teachers & tutors, or those wishing to start teaching and take their knowledge and experience to others for the first time!
Consistent with education standards, including the Higher Education Standards Framework (HESF2015) and Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF), we explore how to balance Generic and Discipline Specific outcomes, within key learning areas Knowledge, Skills, Application of Knowledge and Skills and Mindset.This workshops is Live online, with session recorded for those unable to make it on the day.

Developing any type of workshop is much like writing a piece of music. With music you can come in at it from many angles, it has many individual parts, but ultimately it is a coherent piece of work when all instruments and parts are working in harmony with purpose. With a workshops and LOs, we need to think holistically. We need to consider all elements of the workshop, including the delivery style, the environment or mode of delivery we expect to be in (e.g. face to face, online, blended), the content we wish to provide, and the type of tasks or assessments we may want to set. You may prefer to think about the Student Attributes and what type of student you want to develop. Either way, as you start to develop your workshop, your LO’s are the backbone, and can be amended or re-written as you go. They can be written first, they can be written last, but ultimately the development goal is for all LOs to be coherent, connected, with purpose - like a piece of music.
The LOs are most definitely a crucial tool in clarifying your objectives, and solidifying a coherent and progressive learning experience. The LOs are like your road map, your blueprint, and can be used to keep the workshop on track.
