the personal connection and trust Dr Blackburn establishes with each participant


The Australian Council for Educational Leaders [ACEL] has had the privilege of collaborating with Dr Blackburn over the past several years. This continued collaboration has become a welcomed staple in the professional development journey of both our members plus the wider Australian educational community to who we engage with. This is due not only to the quality of research and instruction delivered, but equally the personal connection and trust Dr Blackburn establishes with each participant.

We feel fortunate to have found such a collaborative partner who works side by side with our organisation, who always goes over and above to in our planning, and always going over and above to tailor to the needs of our members, and ultimately delver what feels like an ongoing partnership between our two parties.

We look forward to working with Dr Blackburn in the coming years and building on this partnership to deliver professional development across the Australian education sector
