Achieving with integrity: Towards mindful educational change

The sixth report features Professor Dennis Shirley, who was appointed the 10th CJ Koh Professor from 2 to 10 March 2014. He focused on educational change for both his NIE seminar and the CJ Koh Professorship Public Lecture. For the seminar, Professor Shirley gave his views on the convergences in educational change and shared about the four zones of convergence and presented the idea of the wave of convergent pedagogy. In his public lecture, Professor Shirley discussed mindful teaching and how it can help teachers deal with daily pressures and be scaled from the classroom to the system level. He also participated in a roundtable discussion where NIE research groups presented on topics about improving the quality of teaching and learning.
