Small group workshops for year level or phase of schooling teams of teachers during planning days.
These workshops are run over a series of days throughout the year at your school to allow teachers to experience investigations and teacher background knowledge in science in a choice of sub-strands from the Australian Curriculum: Science.
For example: St. Vincent's School, Clear Island Waters booked Mondays over a term to allow all their teachers to participate in small group workshops on Chemical Sciences and Physical Sciences. Their usual planning days were split into half days and each teacher attended a workshop on their half day twice during the term.
They included 3 day PrimaryConnections Curriculum Leader Training for three teachers on staff who represented the Early Years, Middle Primary and Upper Primary. They also had a full day of PrimaryConnections professional development on a pupil free day for the whole staff.
