Expert+Workshops

Every full–time teacher in the cluster may attend one of these workshops during the year, you may read this information and register **once** by entering the three workshops you like, in order of preference.

Part-time teachers and teachers who would like to attend more than one workshop please check with the leader at your school who manages the professional development budget as the cluster funds may not fund all of your release time. This is not a big deal, this just allows everyone to track their spending. Check with your Lead Teacher if you are unsure of what this means.

The number of participants in each course is the maximum for the level of technical support we predict participants will need. We will do our best to give everyone their first choice. If we have high interest for one workshop over another we may repeat the preferred workshop and cancel the other. First people to register will be allocated places in their preferred courses. If some workshops have been popular there may be a chance to repeat these in Term 4.

We have done our best to outline what you may expect from the workshops but this can be difficult so far in advance. We are planning these days to be flexible to the needs and interests of the group who attend, so register with an open mind. The workshops will be designed so you can focus on what is relevant to you and your students.

All of the workshops will be planned for you to have an enjoyable day in a comfortable atmosphere away from school to discuss ideas and issues with cluster colleagues and work at your own level. Morning tea and lunch will be provided and Dave and Disa will make fools of themselves for no extra charge (we can’t help it).

All workshops will have a support page on the wiki. You can read about the work others have done since your workshop and join in discussions or browse through the other workshops and see what others in the cluster have done. This is a great way to get ideas to trial in your own class and hopefully people will be willing to share their expertise.
