Table 7 WikiSpace Record, for each of the three sessions:
 * The priorities and actions for the MLC Learning Principles activities
 * The key suggestions/contributions of the Enquiry Maps
 * Important discussion points, concerns or questions

Assessment principles in order of priority: 1. Assessment will be purposeful and pervasive 2. Assessment will be integrated within pedagogy. 3. Assessment approaches will match the authenticity of the work. 4. Assessment criteria will be co-constructed with students and other involved adults. 5. Assessment will involve all stakeholders and include an opportunity for reflection. 6. Assessment will encompass the skills we value, as well as the knowledge required to be assessed. 7. Indicate and introduce further learning. 8. Assessment tasks should be varied, should be consistent and exciting whilst also specific to the individual students' needs and abilities. 9. Assessment will be on-going and non episodic.

How will this look differently to our students? What would we need to do?
 * a focus on documenting the learning process
 * a variety of media
 * interactive assessments relevant to stakeholders: parents, students and teachers.

How will we change what we do as a teacher?
 * student voice in planning stage
 * students will be more involved in assessment process- how will they be assessed, shared with parents ie up front declaration of how unit will be assessed (consultation with students at the beginning of the unit).
 * teachers will continue to be collaborative

What changes will we need to make, in the way we organise ourselves?
 * set planning times with teachers and specialists
 * timetabling - more flexibility- dedicated primary specialists
 * consistency in documentation.


 * World Cafe Experience**
 * Discussion around the question 'How do we rethink our structures, organisational culture and use of time to make MLC a thriving learning community?'**
 * The need for learning to occur at the 'right time' for productive learning
 * The creation of 'expert' teachers where students go to the best person to teach that particular topic/strand
 * Greater links between our 3 schools so the knowledge and skills of students and teachers can be shared.
 * Integration between different subject teachers - links to the idea of skill sharing
 * Including the whole community - parents as experts?
 * Sharing our learning locally and globally - learning from the work of educators all over the world and sharing our journey - learning together.
 * Sharing of best practice within our own school in a meaningful manner

Challenges:
 * The physical structure of the school - communication across schools/buildings
 * Making professional learning relevant for all - from JS to HS - differentiation of learning experiences for staff
 * Faculties are very separate
