And our biggest challenge?
To create in these two days an educational melting pot. After all, what's so 'alternative' about kids loving to learn? What's so 'different' about wanting successful outcomes for ALL young people? And what can we learn from Indigenous programs? How can we work together - young people, teachers, agencies and head office honchos - to create and maintain the best pedagogy in our high schools and secondary colleges?
We want to give innovators and 'alternative' educators, high school teachers, training directors, central office managers, policy makers, community agencies, support personnel, policy analysts and the 80 or more young program presenters participating in Learning Choices Expo 2006, this rare opportunity to learn together, to talk, to share and to debate with each other in what you might call an educationally de-segregated environment.
Twin Waters Resort is extremely well set up for conferences whilst at the same time offering a welcoming atmosphere and a range of resort facilities. It is conveniently located only minutes from Maroochydore airport and the hotel provides a competitively priced feeder bus service both from Brisbane and Maryoochydore. There are also some excellent airfare rates being offered by JetStar and Virgin
Learning Choices Expo 2006 promises to be challenging, stimulating, even a little demanding - and just possibly unforgettable!
