Jill Willis, Associate Professor from QUT is offering a free professional learning opportunity for LEQ schools interested in School Spaces For Student Wellbeing and Learning. This workshop is designed for schools with innovative learning environments or are embarking on this journey. The focus will be on how innovative learning environments typically challenge teacher practice and how the Salutogenic framework can support this.
