Authentic Communication
Whether it is about developing meaningful relationships, leading others, solving a problem collaboratively or pitching a new solution or idea - communication is the bedrock of capability for the future. As an inherent human skillset, empathising with those whom you are communicating with is essential. Using tools and strategies to share a story, idea, solution or point of view can ensure that the meaningful message connects with intended effect to the audience. By being reflective, learners can develop efficacy over their ability to communicate with confidence.

FUTURE CAPABILITIES FRAMEWORK
The Future Capabilities Framework is the foundation which underpins all the Future Learning Academy courses. The framework provides Learning Design Steps that are a practical resource for educators to create experiences that support learners to develop their character qualities, skills and future capabilities. Crucially, the basis for each future capability is the Victorian & Australian Capabilities Curriculum and is designed to be a holistic approach to learning design. Each Future Capability Course explicitly links to key pedagogical themes identified in the Australian Capabilities Curriculum and has been specifically designed to equip educators with both the mindset and the tools to create a future capabilities focused curriculum.
COURSE CERTIFICATION
DIGITAL CREDENTIAL ON COMPLETION
Digital credentials go beyond paper certificates. They are portable, verifiable, and uniquely linked to you. They also ensure that your hard-earned achievements are owned by you, not us - you can access and utilise your digital credential whenever, however you see fit. Digital credentials make you - and your achievements - more visible to schools, educators and professional education networks.
Future Learning Academy has partnered with the leading digital credential provider Credly, to provide acknowledgment for having impact on student learning.
ROWENA ULBRICK
Rowena has extensive leadership experience both in Australia and internationally through a broad range of Head of Learning, Professional Learning Consulting and Advanced Skills Teaching roles.
Whilst working in school and university environments for over 15 years, Rowena rarely saw rich learning experiences being created, ones that harnessed the true capability of young people. She knew this was having a detrimental impact on learning experiences and outcomes for the educators, the schools and ultimately the students. It was clear to Rowena that students needed to be empowered to be better.
Rowena's driving force is knowing that young people can be empowered to achieve anything when they are provided with meaningful learning experiences. The Future Learning Academy team firmly believe that every person deserves this opportunity.
