Workshops and Training
I have accumulated years of experience in the creation and delivery of powerful professional learning. Using the latest technologies and informed by innovative approaches to curriculum I can deliver a host of highly relevant workshop sessions. Whether you are introducing inquiry or problem-based learning, wishing to reinvigorate or transform your library or information centre or exploring new and innovative ways to use technology to enhance your curriculum program, I can customise PD to suit your needs.
Workshops sessions will be presented in your own school environment. Each workshop is accompanied by extensive course notes, resource lists where relevant, curriculum maps that link to relevant outcomes for the Australian (Western Australian) Curriculum and professional development certificates with the associated teaching standards covered from the Australian Professional Standards for Teachers.
All workshops can be adapted to encompass your school's goals and vision and contextualised for your school curriculum. They are tailored to meet your specific needs and can be delivered to district or school clusters, or to individual schools, on a half-day or full-day basis with after school sessions also available.
Below are examples of workshops that can be adapted to your needs.
Please contact me if you would like a fee schedule for these services.
