develops life-long learners.
Central to this practice is Action Research as ongoing CPD for teachers to develop positive attributes in learners, preparing individuals to meet the challenges of life and work.

'Building an education system which develops deep skills and wide capabilities in young people is essential. The idea of
Expansive Education is a truly compelling way of cultivating the kinds of learners the world needs and its ideas are taking root here in Australia. I am a strong supporter of
expansive approaches to learning and was delighted to be able to honour their creator, Bill Lucas, with one of our prestigious fellowships in recognition of his thought leadership.'
Bella Irlicht, CEO, International Specialised Skills Institute Australia

"I would like to thank you personally for all your support and encouragement over the last couple of years. Getting involved in expansive education has been a great experience for me and I hope to work with the expansive education network again soon." London teacher - June 2014
