PD in the Pub at the the Civic Hotel in Inglewood saw NEN members combine personal development with the chance to network with fellow professionals.
Leith Tarling, a L3 Classroom Teacher from the West Coast Primary Behaviour Centre, presented class strategies and supports for dealing with challenging behaviours in the classroom. How to access assistance for students with moderate to severe behaviour challenges through the School Psychology Service was also discussed.
The Growth Team extends a big thank you to the Education and Training Centre, Teachers’ Mutual Bank and our presenters and NENs who attended.
Excursion tips on offer
Twenty final year student members visited Perth Cultural Centre to learn about what was on offer for teachers who take their class on excursion to their venues.
The aim was to take the confusion out of planning excursions and demonstrate what is needed at a school level to ensure a smooth process.
The State Library of WA and the Art Gallery of WA presented information required to complete the Department's school excursion documentation, offering a taste of the education programs available for students on excursion at both venue.
A guided tour of both facilities included the art rooms in the Gallery as well as seeing a selection of items students may use on an excursion to the library. Growth Team officers discussed the many benefits of SSTUWA membership.
Each participant received a goody bag from the Perth Cultural Centre and the SSTUWA.
