Professional Learnings NSWPPA Educational Leadership

Sue Orlovich is currently a researcher and tutor at The University of Sydney, with a focus on the field of teacher practice and pedagogy. With over thirty years of experience as a teacher and principal in diverse schools across Sydney, she brings practical knowledge and lived experience to her research. Currently pursuing her PhD in teacher professional learning in the 4Cs, Sue is seeking to better understand how the practices enacted in school settings lead to transformed teacher practice and improved student learning.

In addition to her research endeavours, Sue is also a qualified professional supervisor, holding a Graduate Certificate in Professional Supervision. Through her work as a supervisor, she guides colleagues in engaging in reflective practice, creating a supportive space for them to analyse complex situations, explore their emotional responses, and tap into their own experiences. Sue recognises the value of personal experience and its influence on professional practice, helping practitioners develop a deeper awareness of how their experiences shape their work.

Sue's passion for supervision and reflective practice stems from her genuine interest in the learning and well-being practices of teachers and leaders within educational settings. She is excited about the potential for further developing and implementing reflective practices in schools, ultimately fostering growth and enhancing the professional learning of leaders within the education community.
