Teacher Professional Inservice Opportunity

There are two upcoming "Relief Insight" workshop opportunities coming up in October and November here in Brisbane. The first is on Monday 18th and specifically designed for experienced supply teachers. It is to be held during the day as all other staff will be involved with CTJ professional in service day in their area. It seems like a perfect opportunity to do some of our own collaborative sharing and peer learning.

The second opportunity is for graduates and those intending on trailing this career pathway. It will be held on Saturday the 27th of November at Chermside. I will attach the flier for this workshop next blog.

For now here is the opportunity PD this coming Monday the 18th of October. I am relying on school to inform relief teachers within this next week. It will interesting to see how well they do this as getting the message ou there to supply teachers is tricky as you all well know!

“Relief Insight”presents….
Tricks of the Trade!
Relief/ Supply Teacher Workshop
Facilitated by: Carmel Kuhr (Dip of T, B.Ed)

Looking for professional development specifically designed for the amazing teaching professional called the relief teacher?
Want to add more reliable strategies to your relief teacher’s “Bag of tricks”
How to get better organized?
Want to be inspired by, as well as share your, behaviour management and organisational strategies that really deliver results?

There is little doubt that CTJ day, the 18th October, provides a reflective element to our professionalism as teachers. Relief teachers play an essential role in the smooth functioning of the schools learning environments and as such amass a great deal of skills dealing with a wide variety of children across the school that can sometimes be undervalued. While not directly involved in CTJ Day this year why not use the time to increase your own professional learning by taking part in this interactive and practical workshop? There will be time to share, learn from each other and reflect on the skills and knowledge that form an essential part of the relief teachers’ “toolbox”. Come along prepared to share your best strategies, learn from your colleagues and reflect on quality teaching practice.
