Science Safari with Professor John Hattie

Join us for an exclusive evening hosted by Emeritus Laureate Professor, John Hattie, on a Science Safari through the Big Five debates in science education. Along the way, you'll meet fellow educators, track the evidence, examine what we're doing well, and explore where the greatest opportunities for improvement lie. At the end of the journey, we'll decide which of the Big Five poses the greatest challenge, and offers the greatest opportunity, for the future of science education.
