The Centre for Professional Learning offers a free professional development course to members of the NSW Teachers Federation.
I attended last the session at Surry Hills back on May 15 and personally I was not left disappointed by it. For any teacher starting, you'll be amazed at how you can make your teaching more interesting, engaging and yet manage a classroom more effectively and covers all aspects of teaching, whether its programming, planning a lesson and understanding the needs of your students.
I enjoyed listening to some of the strategies that teachers have applied effectively in their practice, whether they were a facilitator or merely attending the sessions.
If there was something that I got out of it most, I think looking at the relationship with your programming and lesson planning and effective classroom management. They explained the linkage quite well.
