Description
Currently there are several pathways students can take towards study work and adult life. This PL provides secondary educators with an overview of the options available to Year 10, 11 and 12 students with diverse needs; providing opportunity to consider which options their school could provide with a better understanding of how to retrofit new programmes into current practices.
Secondary Teachers, LSC, Curriculum and Teaching School Personnel who are seeking advice on how to meet the needs of senior school students with diverse needs would benefit from attending.
