Description
*Please note - SESSION 4 has been moved to the 27th of October due recently announced Public Holiday on the 22nd of September.
AISWA is pleased to present a unique series comprising professional learning and coaching for teachers of all subjects and grade levels. We have partnered with Education Consultant Kylie Bice from Growing Up Greatness to present her comprehensive course on Gifted and Talented Education in a unique combination of online learning and targeted coaching and networking.
It is our aim to offer a professional learning experience that provides information based on research together with practical workshop and coaching sessions, and the opportunity to network with peers. Information will be presented in a series of eight online videos that participants can watch in their own time and be credited with one hour of professional learning per video. Coaching and workshopping will run over four days during Terms 2 and 3 from 10am to 2.00pm, and altogether participants will be credited with a total of four days of professional learning. The online videos are presented by Kylie Bice and she will be facilitating the workshop days. The aim of the workshop days is to ensure course participants can put theory into practice with support and coaching.
*The cost of this PL is set at $690 for all 4 face to face sessions at AISWA (including catering). If due to COVID 19 we are unable to hold a session(s) face-to-face it will be run as a webinar instead, and the costs will be reduced. Please note your school will be invoiced after the final session in September.
