How do we create learning environments where every student can succeed, belong and be prepared for what comes next? In this opening keynote, Australian University Teacher of the Year Associate Professor Roma Forbes will reflect on her own journey from student to educator, and on the choices that we make about what matters most in our work. Inspired by the T&L week theme, Strive, the session will explore how being discerning about the “hills we die on” can shape our teaching, our priorities and ultimately the difference we make for students and graduates.
