Testimonials
Cranbourne East Secondary College | Session Type: PE Faculty learning session
Professional Learning Goals:
To extend the range of teaching activities and tools for teaching using a game sense approach.
To support first year trained PE teachers to plan successful units of work and plan for assessment.
Impact:
“The PD session was extremely
insightful, especially for a graduate teacher like myself! Whilst still
professional, you created a comfortable learning environment where no questions
or conversations were off the table. Everything I learnt that day about developing
our Net and Wall unit has been extremely beneficial for myself and our team. We
took away a bound of knowledge that as a team, we can apply to all our unit and
curriculum planning, giving it more structure and consistency across the board” (Madi Henderson, Cranbourne East SC)
