Kirstin Bourne

Kirstin Bourne (formerly InformEducation) was founded by Kirstin in 2015 as a boutique education consultancy company specialising in the improvement of performance and results in English faculties across Victoria. Over time Kirstin Bourne / InformEducation has grown into whole-school and education systems consultancy. My role is to listen to what organisations want to achieve and then to work with you and your teachers to change and improve how you do what you do. I bring a wealth of experience across schools and sectors and have supported projects that are as substantial as sector-wide whole-school disciplinary literacy program implementation, to as bespoke as supporting new managers of subject areas to improve the performance of their teams. I work with schools to help them to improve the way that they work, through delivering whole-day and half-day professional learning sessions that focus on: specific areas of improvement, such as whole-school disciplinary literacy; teaching and learning that comes out of research and best practice; and building a whole-school culture of learning and improvement. I consult on significant system-wide projects that are explicitly designed to build teacher capacity across secondary schools. I work to identify the key areas of improvement that systems want to target, and then design and deliver projects that will not only support teachers to deliver improved outcomes for their students but also to sustain that improvement through communities of shared practice. My passion for improving how we educate drives what I do and I always welcome conversations about how I can assist you to do that.
