ACELearn Co-labs involve educators from a number of schools working, learning, and growing together; collectively and professionally.

A key feature of ACELearn’s services are our ACELearn Co-labs. We can activate a variety of powerful professional learning designs specifically chosen as a springboard of choice for the participating school clusters. ACELearn will help in framing the learning opportunities and together, we craft the process, timeframes, and inclusions to meet your specific needs.

The focus of the designs is explicitly and deliberately on leadership and capability building. These powerful professional learning strategies may include leadership programs for specific cohorts, refinement of coaching and mentoring capabilities, building, and coaching cohesive teams, teacher leadership and dynamic teacher rounds.

With a clear and explicit agenda focused on measuring progress and impact across the cluster, as well as within individual schools, we propose utilising a variety of assessment instruments. The ACELearn Co-Lab will have access to the following tools:

  • Cultural Maturity Assessment
  • Leadership Teams Assessment
  • Genos Emotional Intelligence 360
  • LEADQ 360 (Leadership Efficacy and Development Quotient)
  • 5 Behaviours of a Cohesive Team
  • Hogan Personality Assessment (recommended for Beginning and Early Career Teachers)
  • Pre, interim and post program evaluations, and diagnostics

 

Collegiality, teacher agency and data informed practices remain central to the ACELearn Co-Lab opportunities. We understand that flexibility of approach is critical when addressing the perceived and identified professional collective learning requirements of your school and can also strategically shape any program to respond to school data and systemic priorities.


The ACELearn Co-Lab offers a range of opportunities that clusters can tailor and evolve into their own distinctive programs. These are designed to align with the specific data of their cluster or individual school, as well as with overarching system-wide priorities.
