Evaluation Comments

Comments on Format: Tony Mackay – brilliant moderator Rich + very good Great to have unions and ministers together Keep questions/comments from observers/audience focused on session topic. Submit questions from audience in advance. Include more time for Q&A or vary format of sessions throughout day. 26

Comments on Format: More time for discussion and networking Sessions began to feel a bit redundant Greater variety of session format: breakouts, mixed seating during meals Include more teachers at the table. Extend the summit so there is more time to process and engage. Video screens and interpreters a must School leaders/principal representatives – what is our role in the summit? 27

Participants/Attendees found helpful or insightful: Framing document/session Rapporteurs’ summaries Learning from international experiences esp. Hong Kong, Singapore and Finland Hearing how unions and management work in collaboration High achieving countries’ clearly defined systemic change Hearing about: – the common challenges of all education systems – similar problems from which we can learn and translate solutions for our own unique contexts 28

General Feedback: THANK YOU! BRAVO! EXCELLENT! STUNNING! Please continue this summit in future. Suggested readings/research for attendees Materials/logistical information available earlier A teacher exchange could add a lot to understanding between the countries. This was an outstanding and historic event that began a very important conversation with the objective to improve teaching and learning. 29

THANK YOU!
