Just last week (June 10), I attended a Professional Development Session organised by the Independent Education Union (NSW) at their headquarters in Ultimo.
It was themed as: Teach Survive Thrive.The presenter was Glen Pearsall, who has worked extensively with schools right around the country. In the two hour session, he focused on classroom management and engaging students in their learning.
It did look at many of the issues that were covered in the course that I did just a few weeks ago at the Centre for Professional Learning, and the evening for me really allowed me to consolidate what I had learned several weeks ago, as well as enjoying another perspective and learning some new strategies especially keeping students on task and positive reinforcement of student behaviour
It was also a smaller group with about 20 present. Last month I was amongst 180 participants.
The course is free for IEU members and is highly recommended. Click here to find out more.

Classroom Management Through Effective Teaching - May 15 2014
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.
