  • 2017 MANSW Annual Conference
    2017 yenMANSW Annual Conference Adjusting Your Altitude PLATINUM SPONSORS MANSW thanks the following sponsors for their support of the 2017 MANSW Annual Conference GOLD SPONSOR SILVER SPONSORS OTHER SPONSORS Pre-Dinner Drinks President’s Reception Sponsor Presenter Gifts Welcome to the 2017 MANSW Annual Conference Adjusting Your Altitude 2017 MANSW Annual Conference Adjusting Your Altitude A very warm welcome to the 2017 MANSW Annual Conference: “Adjusting Your Altitude”. In deciding to bring the MANSW Annual Conference to the Blue Mountains this year, I wanted our theme to be related to the mountains in some way. In particular, the graphic that we have used this year stood out to me as a graphic that epitomises our work as teachers. To teach effectively, it is not enough to explain our knowledge, experiences, to talk students through the journey they will go on, all the potholes they may fall in, how to navigate, how to plan for bad weather, how to move up the mountain… you have to walk it with them, and help them on the way, adjusting as you go. We are excited to be able to welcome many educators to our conference this year, and there are many notable events to look forward to. On Friday morning we have two excellent speakers: Mark Harrison and Angela D’Angelo. Mark Harrison has a background in Mathematics and Psychology and will speak to us about Growth Mindset, in particular how understanding student mindsets can deeply influence our effectiveness in the classroom. Angela D’Angelo, one of the recipients of a Premier’s Teaching Scholarship in 2016, will continue the conversation around Growth Mindset as well as discuss her journey over the last year.
