Mark Treadwell

Mark’s passion is to communicate how we can best prepare all learners for the world they will live, work and play in. Based on the latest research into how the brain learns, Mark has developed a learning framework that provides educators with a developmental schema for how learning takes place. The learning process and the competencies lay the foundation for learners to have far greater agency (ownership) over their learning. Through an understanding of the learning process, all learners can build their capacity to become independent lifelong learning.

Facilitating effective learning requires creating a curriculum that is both focused on conceptual understanding and is founded on the critical role of the learning process and the underlying competencies. Mark is keen to ensure that this theoretical framework is developed into a set of very practical processes and systems that can be implemented within schools. Mark’s presentations address the reasons for the multiplicity of changes that educators are currently experiencing in their profession, as well as providing effective solutions and adaptive pathways to create the learning environments that are now required by schools.

The emerging new practices and processes empower learners with the capacity to learn more efficiently and effectively, anywhere, anytime and with anyone. Mark has written numerous books and articles describing the series of paradigm shifts in learning, including the most recent transformation educators need to address. In his presentations, Mark explains how educators can best address the challenges that educators are currently facing and ensure that learner-educators are provided with the skill sets and capabilities they require for this century.
