Charles Sturt University (CSU) will host the 2011 Practice-Based Education Summit in two sessions at two venues in April. Professor Joy Higgs, the Director of CSU’s Education for Practice Institute, said the summit will hear from Australian and international experts, led by CSU Vice-Chancellor and President, Professor Ian Goulter, including Professors Dave Boud, Stephen Billett and Peter Goodyear. “Higher education places a high priority on preparation of graduates for work and life,” Professor Higgs said. “This Summit provides a forum for those working in practice-based education to highlight challenges to the field, and contribute to its advancement by sharing good practice models and examples.” The first session of the Summit will be held at the CSU centre at 102 Bennelong Parkway, Sydney Olympic Park, on Thursday 7 April, and will be followed by a two-day residential forum at CSU in Bathurst on Wednesday 13 and Thursday 14 April.
