Sue King Feedback Video and Report.

Apart from a couple of problems with the venue we have been working on fixing for a while now, the workshop finished up with a very positive reaction from those who attended!

Comments in our videos are taken directly from feedback forms left by participants so it's easy to see the kind of response that Sue King is able to generate in a Workshop.  As you can see in the video, Sue King has a knack for making a highly educational day something that's also fun.  The bubble blowing and sign language sections proved particularly enjoyable for the participants!

We had a lot of new faces again this time which was great to see!  We hope you all enjoyed and benefitted from our presenter selection and organization of the day.  We also hope all you travellers, some who travelled a very long way, made it home safely!

Estimated Cost per Head value: $225.00 - $355.00 (based on similar commercial PDs)

Cost per head we paid: $61.78

Cost per head for CRTs?   $10.00

Offering this PD would not have been possible without some help. We'd like to thank:

• Sue King for her wonderful presentation.
• The Wodonga South Primary School for the venue.
• The DEECD for the CRT Professional Learning Support Initiative and the funding it provides
• VIT for starting and helping to maintain 24 CRT Networks across Victoria.
• Officeworks Wodonga for their sponsorship of our network
• and everyone who attended for the wonderful atmosphere they provided!

Free online Professional Development - Rego and PD presentation video..

In August 2012 the Wodonga CRT Support Network was lucky enough to host Dawn Colcott, VIT's Manager of Professional Learning, as a guest speaker in a specially convened meeting.

The topic was Registration and Professional Development dealing with the 2012 changes to the registration process and requirements.

From 2011 onwards, September 30 became a significant date in the teaching profession calendar. The time frame has changed for payment of annual fees and renewal of full registration.

Full registration requires all teachers to maintain their professional practice and suitability to be a teacher through the renewal of registration process.

To be able to teach effectively for student learning, a casual relief teacher should have current professional knowledge and practice.

The Institute recognises that CRTs sometimes have less opportunity to know about and engage in professional development activities.

You can find the rest of this presentation here:

This is a full 60 minutes of video!

For those of you still looking for a little guidance:

This will be "teacher identified" PD and no Pdi PASS code is offered.

You can start by referencing this against Standard 7:

Teachers develop organizational and administrative skills to manage their non-teaching duties.

The Wodonga CRT Support Network gratefully acknowledges the assistance of Dawn Colcott and the Victorian Institute of Teaching that made it possible to bring you this online PD opportunity!
