TCL Best practice examples

On 28th August 2025, St Robert’s Newtown classroom teacher, Jacqui Bowman, won the prestigious National Education Summit 'Innovation in Teaching' award.

Jacqui’s incredible achievement highlights her pioneering work in implementing the Teachers as Co-Learners (TCL) program in her classroom. Her success is a fantastic testimony to how the TCL model empowers both educators and students. By embracing the role of a co-learner, Jacqui has created a dynamic and collaborative environment where curiosity thrives, and everyone is an active participant in the learning journey.

This award is a remarkable accomplishment for Jacqui, but also for the entire TCL community. It showcases the real impact of our program on student outcomes and proves that when teachers learn alongside their students, the possibilities are endless. Jacqui’s innovative approach has led to significant improvements in student engagement and student growth in language learning.
