Shownotes

What does 'know better and do better' actually look like in the classroom?

In this episode of Catholic Education Matters, Executive Director Kate Fogarty is joined by Learning Leader Craig Simpson to explore one of the most powerful commitments within our Cultural Covenant: a passion to 'know better and do better'.

From memory and retrieval to routines, attention and the thoughtful use of technology, this episode connects research to the daily reality of classrooms; and to the culture we are building across our 51 schools in regional Victoria.

This episode forms part of our ongoing series unpacking the Cultural Covenant and what it enables across the Sandhurst Diocese.

Whether you are teaching in a classroom, leading a school, shaping system strategy or reflecting on your own professional growth, this is a conversation about growth, coherence and aligning culture with evidence.

Now join us as we explore what truly matters in education.
