PD in the PUB 2010
SURVIVAL KIT FOR NEW TEACHERS
Free for student and teacher members in their first few years.
Over many years of teaching, experienced educators develop the skills and knowledge needed to engage students even in
the most challenging situations.
In this workshop, Glen Pearsall takes teachers new to the profession through a number of great activities that they can
use in either the primary or secondary classroom.
These are really practical and educationally valuable activities that participants can turn to when they need to get a
group of students on task or when the time is right to mix things up.
It can take years to learn this stuff, or you can come to PD in the Pub, have a drink on us and walk away with a bunch
of new skills and fun ideas.
About the presenter

Eltham High School and a board member
of the Victorian Curriculum Assessment
Authority.

them improve their classroom management through a
practical exploration of what goes on in the classroom

Wodonga CRT Support March Meeting
I would just like to thank all involved in the first CRT meeting for the year. I am hoping those who attended found it informative. Those who did, we talk about PD for CRTs in the area, resources online that are helpful for our bag of tricks and general CRT things. We had some new CRTs join us and regulars come for a catch up.
A big thankyou to Anne for setting up the venue and being a great host at St. Monica's Primary School. The use of the interactive whiteboard in the library was fabulous.
Sorry there aren't any minutes for this meeting. It was very relaxed and informal. Lots of chatting and mixing.

Developmental Curriculum - Baranduda P.S.
I worked for Baranduda P.S last fortnight and in their prep rooms they have taken a new approach to literacy. Melbourne University has been researching Developmental Curriculum in the early years in the classroom.
Kathy Walker is the author of this new and exciting way of prep children to explore their environment as well as learn new letters and sounds. The Developmental Curriculum (as far as I understand) is to help ease the transition between pre-school and school.
Well don't take my work for it. Baranduda P.S are holding an informaiton session for parents (and anyone else interested) on Wednesday 17th March at 6pm.

Cybersafety Outreach Program
This is a free day-long PD run by the ACMA's (Australian Communications and Media Authority) and it is a well worthwhile day to attend. I attended a session in term 4 last year and it really opened my eyes to all the issues and situations teachers are put in around technology. They will also provide you with some interesting websites to look at and even use with the kids in the classroom.
The next session is due to run in Wangaratta (click for details) on the 22nd April. I will try to get a hold of the group to see if they are able to make a run up to Wodonga later on in the year, so keep your eyes open for details of that if you are unable to attend the Wangaratta session.
Registration form can be found at http://www.cybersmart.gov.au/en/Schools/Book%20teacher%20professional%20development.aspx on the right hand side under "Professional Development of Educators in VIC and TAS"

Special INVITATION for CRTs
Ever wondered what it would be like to teach in a special school?
Now’s your chance to find out. Belinda Lingham, vice principal of Belvoir Special Development School will be holding a special information
session and tour for interested CRTs.
Belvoir SDS has a full time staff of 20 with an additional 25 educational support staff (aids) and they cater for 118 students. For teachers who have an interest and show an aptitude for teaching students with special needs, there are great work opportunities. Casual work as a CRT often leads into short term contract work and other contracts for those who demonstrate they’ve got what it takes.
We encourage you to come along and see for yourself these wonderful kids and the great staff and facilities.
Belinda has kindly given us three options. The greatest interest level will likely determine which session is run or if there is enough numbers they may all run. The daytime sessions are probably the most advantageous for you as classes will be running and you will get a chance to see them in action.
Monday 15th MARCH at 10am—11am
OR Wednesday 17th MARCH at 10am—11am
OR Thursday 18th MARCH at 4pm—5pm
Book Now before Friday 5th March.
