The Vivedus Model sits on the forefront innovation in education. It transforms learning activity, helping schools to build the 21st century capacities learners need to thrive and remain agile within an environment of unprecedented change and disruption stemming from AI and technologically driven acceleration. The Vivedus model is aligned to global trends and developments in teaching, learning and assessing creativity evolving from research supported by the OECD, the UNESCO sustainable development goals and globally recognised thought leaders from acclaimed universities.

The Vivedus Professional Growth and Progression portal is aligned with Australian Professional Standards for Teachers, a globally-recognised continuum which supports each teacher’s professional development.

Vivedus has partnered with the Graduate School of Education at The University of Melbourne for a world-first project, the creation of assessment tools to measure a student’s ability to think creatively. This work validates the Vivedus Model and results in the Vivedus Learner Profile.
