Contemporary Learning involves:

 * Engaging students in multiple perspectives and helping them to develop deep understandings about the world and how it works;
 * Building relationships and partnerships between individuals and groups, connecting learners with others within and beyond the classroom over time and space, enhancing learning opportunities in diverse learning environments.
 * Teaching with a focus on making meaning in real life contexts in which learning is differentiated and co-constructed.
 * Personalised learning which is motivating, interactive and co-created between learner and teacher.
 * Powerful learning- engaging learners in: thinking and working creatively; exploring, experimenting and creating new knowledge and understanding; planning and reflecting; communicating and collaborating.
 * The appropriate and ethical use of contemporary tools and resources to enable and transform learning.
 * A focus on multiliteracies - using multimodal communication, recognising cultural and linguistic diversity and the influence of existing and emerging technologies.
