Flip the System Australia was published in 2018, and brings together perspectives on education policy and practice in response to issues such as increasingly top-down education reform and outside interests influencing educational policy. This episode presents content from TeachMeet Flip the System, which was held at SHORE school on 29 March, 2019, and served as an unofficial launch of the book.
From the website: “Based in the unique Australian context, this book situates Australian education policy, research and practice within the international education narrative. It argues that professionals within schools should be supported, empowered and welcomed into policy discourse, not dictated to by top-down bureaucracy. It advocates for a flipping, flattening and democratising of the education system, in Australia and around the world.”
