The Languages and Culture team (Secondary Education – Learning and Teaching Directorate) is running a Preservice Language Teachers' Conference on 16 November 2018.
Due to low enrolments from preservice teachers, we are opening up the conference to beginning teachers in their first two years of teaching.
If you are a beginning teacher and interested in attending this event, please send a copy of your tertiary transcript for the Education/Teaching course you have completed (for graduates 2016-2017) to darlene.knowles@det.nsw.edu.au to receive the enrolment link.
If you teach preservice teachers, have contact with practicum students or know a beginning language teacher, please let them know about this FREE-OF-CHARGE event.
Further details are provided in the attached flyers for both beginning teachers and preservice teachers.
Participants will be engaged in targeted workshops (based on identified needs from the tertiary sector), including:
- student engagement and advocacy
- managing multi-level classrooms
- future-focused learning in the languages classroom
- engaging teaching strategies
- time management.
There will also be plenary sessions presented by:
- TEACH.NSW
- NSW Education Standards Authority (NESA)
- the NSW branch of the Modern Language Teachers’ Association (MLTA).
Participants will have the opportunity to network with experienced teachers of their specific target language, and build relationships with preservice/beginning teachers from other NSW institutions.
All plenary and workshop sessions align strongly with Standard 6.1 and Standard 7.4 of the Australian Professional Standards for Teachers.
Attendance can be logged as Evidence for Accreditation in the participants’ professional learning journals, as a record of engagement to achieve Proficient Teacher.
Morning and afternoon tea are provided.
Assistance with travel/accommodation available upon request.
