Description
Join the Inclusive Education team for the Positive Partnerships two-day professional learning program, designed to enhance understanding and support for young autistic people. This free workshop will cover evidence-informed insights on autism and its impact on learning, practical strategies for maximising student engagement at school and home, and ways to better support students and their families. Funded by the Australian Government Department of Education, Skills and Employment, each school must send two teachers, preferably those new to working with autistic students or seeking further training. Schools whose teachers attend both days will receive $500 in teacher resource support funding (GST-inclusive). Don’t miss this opportunity to boost your school’s capacity for inclusive education and make a positive difference in your community.
This is a funded Australian Government Department of Education, Skills and Employment initiative. Schools will be eligible for $500 (incl GST), of teacher resource support funding for each pair of participating teachers upon attendance at both workshop days.
Please note: this is not confirmation of final registration, you will receive further details for registration when two teachers from each participating school has signed up.
