AISWA 2020 Vision is a celebration of what worked and how we might continue positive initiatives into 2021.
The voice of AISWA teachers and leaders is an important component of this event and some sessions will be hosted by an AISWA Consultant with one or two invited guests to share an initiative from their school community. Looking beyond 2020, special projects and Professional Learning opportunities for 2021 will also be shared. Please check the AISWA PL Calendar for other sessions by searching Nov 16.
Rebecca Rourke and Jaqui Heathcote-Marks will be talking about the implementation of the Keeping Safe Child Protection Curriculum at Methodists Ladies College with the students with disabilities. A brief introduction will be given followed by a discussion detailing how they have developed the curriculum at the school to meet the specific needs of the students with disabilities.
