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.
