Catholic Education Tasmania
2025 - 2026
Our Partnership
In July 2025, we partnered with Catholic Education Tasmania (CET) to support their system-wide professional learning efforts through a series of custom video messages for All Systems Day in July and October. These short videos were designed to energise and align educators across the state around the shared goal of improving teaching practice through focused, sustainable cycles of improvement.
Our collaboration centers around building a common understanding of how small, deliberate shifts in teaching practice can lead to meaningful, long-term change. The videos were tailored to CET’s ongoing work with Teaching Sprints and their emphasis on evidence-informed professional learning.
Our work with Catholic Education Tasmania is a powerful example of how systems can use clear messaging, shared models, and human-centred leadership to mobilise collective improvement. By reinforcing core ideas and offering practical guidance, the videos helped set the tone for purposeful action and professional growth across the system.

July All Systems Day Bespoke Video Series
The series aimed to reinforce the foundational principles of CET’s improvement approach while encouraging deep engagement, reflection, and collaboration.
1. Focus on One Thing: The Power of Tiny Shifts
Drawing on relatable stories and research, this video explored why sustainable improvement comes from focusing on one instructional habit at a time. Leaders and teachers were encouraged to move away from overwhelm and toward manageable change, with the goal of embedding new practices into their long-term instructional repertoire.
2. Psychological Safety: Creating the Conditions for Growth
This message unpacked the critical importance of psychological safety in professional learning environments. We highlighted the role of vulnerability, shared reflection, and non-judgmental dialogue in enabling real growth. Teachers and leaders were invited to model openness and respond supportively to one another, recognising that improvement requires interpersonal risk-taking.
3. Prepare – Act – Share: Making Professional Learning Stick
In the final video, we explored CET’s Prepare–Act–Share model as a simple but powerful cycle for driving instructional change. We emphasised the unique learning opportunities in each phase:
Prepare: Opening up dialogue, connecting to the science of learning, and getting specific about the planned practice.
Act: Engaging in deliberate practice, testing strategies in real contexts, and staying accountable to follow through.
Share: Returning to reflect, sense-make, and integrate new practices into long-term teaching habits.
Educators were encouraged to take collective responsibility for the quality of their professional learning conversations and to act as peer supports during the sprint process.
