ResearchED Ballarat

 Juliana ADDISON (Wendouree) (13:09): Congratulations to Dr Greg Ashman, principal Jen Bourke and the Clarendon team for hosting the exceptional researchED conference at Ballarat Clarendon College on the weekend, which brought together more than 700 educators from across Australia and New Zealand. ResearchED continues to set the benchmark for evidence-informed professional learning. It was a day full of practical, research-driven insights for teachers who are committed to strengthening their practice and improving learning outcomes for their students. A particular highlight for me was hearing from UK educator and writer David Didau, whose presentation explored the importance of assessing student attention, sampling every student in every lesson and understanding that errors are valuable information. I am proud that Ballarat is becoming a national beacon for evidence-based research education.
