Arrangements for PD Workshops in Wangaratta.

Hello everyone!

Yesterday we took a trip to secure a venue and caterer for PD workshops to be held in Wangaratta!

We visited a number of venues and businesses and we are reasonably sure we've obtained everything we need to begin providing PD for CRTs in Wangaratta.  This will not be to the extent we have been providing it in Wodonga but we remain committed to "sharing the PD love" throughout the region.

We hope to have the first full-day PD run in Wangaratta in mid May and also run 2 evening PD workshops by the end of June.

Please note:  We have been given access to the DEECD CRT PLSI funding under the current system until the end of June.  At  this time the program will undergo some changes to address some concerns expressed in the VAGO report on CRT Arrangements.  We have no idea of what those changes will be so we simply can't guarantee what will be happening after that.  In the short term we suggest that everyone takes full advantage of the opportunities until then!

PLEASE remember that although the system is undergoing changes, it is not stopping!  No matter what happens the DEECD remains committed to supporting CRTs in ease of access to appropriate PD opportunities and maintaining their registration in order to ensure we are the best Teachers that we can be!

Regards,

Mel.

Back in business!

Hello everyone,

We are happy to announce that we again have access to the DEECD's CRT PLSI to fund local PD for CRTs.  We have been guaranteed access provided all payments can be finalized by the end of June 2013.

To this end we are going to pump out as much PD as possible between now and then to make up for the relatively low amount of PD provided up until now.  This will include the shortening of booking times and sometimes notice of a PD availability may be quite late.  

We urge all of you to keep a close eye on your emails and the this blog to give yourselves the maximum amount of warning possible concerning upcoming PD.

Regards,

Mel.
