The Nine Discoveries for organisations and institutions

Why Organisations

Organisations and institutions develop over time. Their ideas, structures, relationships and ways of working evolve as they grow and respond to change. The Nine Discoveries® provides a developmental lens for considering how that development is unfolding at organisational and institutional scale.

Where the Framework May Be Relevant

• Development and FormationHow an organisation, institution, initiative or body of work develops and takes form over time.
• Periods of ChangeHow an organisation moves through transitions, restructures or other periods of significant change.
• Ideas and InitiativesHow new ideas, projects or initiatives take shape and develop.
• Longer Patterns of DevelopmentRecognising longer patterns of development across an organisation's history and direction.

Schools & Educational Institutions

Schools and educational institutions engage with The Nine Discoveries in their own distinct way.

Schools and curriculum authorities look for approaches that support genuine creative and developmental growth in students, beyond isolated skills or one-off activities. The Nine Discoveries® offers a developmental lens that schools and educators can draw on in age-appropriate ways, alongside their existing curriculum and teaching practice.

Areas Being Developed

• School Art Programs
• Professional Learning for Teachers
• Teacher Resources and Support

Professional learning offered to teachers does not confer automatic CPD hours or Queensland College of Teachers recognition unless that is separately confirmed for a specific program.

Looking Ahead

An institutional digital platform for schools is part of the longer-term development of The Nine Discoveries. It has not yet been built.

Completing a school art program or a short professional learning engagement does not confer Professional Education graduate status or CJF Educator Certification. Those remain separate, deeper pathways, described on the Professional Education page.

Kids Art Fun's own direct experiences in schools, such as ceramics sessions, are delivered by Kids Art Fun and remain distinct from the institutional support described here.
