Flexible and personalised learning approach recognised
Pacific Lutheran College principal Bronwyn Dolling has been celebrated in The Educator’s annual Hot List report, which highlights cutting-edge educational excellence across Australia.
Dolling has been principal at the school for nearly two decades. She empowers staff to draw on best practice from international educational research in curriculum design, structure and delivery — while maintaining a focus on developing young people to be compassionate, deep thinking and socially just, with the confidence and knowledge to tackle real-world challenges.
Under Dolling’s charge, the physical and virtual learning spaces at Pacific Lutheran College have been enhanced over the last 12 months to provide flexible learning spaces to support a personalised, integrated approach to teaching and learning. Introduction of a new learning management system and the rapid upskilling carried out in early 2020 provided a firm foundation for staff to facilitate online learning through early Term 2.
Organisers of the Hot List say the 75 celebrated professionals acknowledged in the report have made a significant contribution to the K-12 education space over the last 12 months and are recognised for delivering the highest quality educational experiences possible to all students in particularly difficult times.
