Impact Centre
The IMPACT Centre is a unit of the Queensland Department of Education whose mission is to inspire minds, connect communities, and transform education through the application of technology and digital pedagogy. Since its inception in 2012, the UQCTP joined the IMPACT Centre to deliver online extension courses in Critical Thinking and professional development modules to school teachers. This joint effort gave shape to the Aspiring Thinkers Network, through which teachers and school leaders are introduced to the UQCTP pedagogy and become part of a learning community of educators.
