The Language Teacher Network meeting for Sydney Greater West, scheduled for Monday 30 March, has been postponed until further notice.

The NSW Department of Education has a new website section: Learning from home.
Learning from home refers to the ways schools will maintain teaching and learning in the event of a prolonged school closure or student absence. The site includes resources and activities for teachers to support students temporarily unable to attend school. KLA teams at the Learning and Teaching Directorate are currently populating this site with content, so keep checking regularly for resources, ideas and advice. Let your colleagues from other KLAs know too. Due to disruptions caused by COVID-19, please be aware that Education Perfect (formerly Language Perfect) is providing free and unlimited access to all schools until 1 May. Visit the Education Perfect website to register. Due to the impact of COVID-19, the Languages and Culture team is postponing all Term 1 workshops, with the exception of Wollongong (18 March).
New dates for the Term 1 venues will be published later in the year. At this stage, Term 2 events are proceeding as planned. A reminder, tomorrow's Wollongong event is still going ahead. Sydney Greater West – Language Teacher Network will hold its Term 1 meeting on Monday 30 March. The meeting will focus on games and engaging learning activities. Members are asked to bring in a game they use in the classroom to share with their colleagues, summarised in half a page. Members will be able to showcase their games to the group, so that all members will gain further ideas that could be adapted for their classrooms. This session is suitable for both primary and high school language teachers.
Date: Monday 30 March Time: 3:30-5:00pm Venue: The Ponds High School – library Please enrol via MyPL course code: NR25533 and select Language Network - Sydney Greater West Term 1 2020.

If you teach in a geographically remote location, including Far North NSW, or you are unable to attend your local geographical network, and would like to access the recording, please email evia.kyriacou@det.nsw.edu.au for the link. We won't publish the link here, as we need to track who is accessing this very targeted support. As such, we need requests from individual teachers. Our Languages K-10 syllabus familiarisation and planning eCourse is been made available again on MyPL. We have restructured the course in to make enrolling and accessing the course content simpler – the new course code is RG08902.
This registered eCourse supports language teachers 7-10 in NSW public schools to implement the K-10 language syllabuses in Arabic, Chinese, French, German, Indonesian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Modern Greek, Spanish, Turkish and Vietnamese. The eCourse's objective is for participants to develop their understanding of the new Languages K-10 Framework and related syllabuses and to consider the implications for programming. The eCourse has been co-designed with practising teachers. There are 7 online parts to complete, and a post-course assignment to submit. The post-task assignment must be submitted and marked as 'achieved' for participants to receive the registered hours. If you are a language teacher 7-10, you need to successfully complete all components (Parts 1-7 and the assignment) to receive the NESA registered professional development hours. Alternatively, you can complete Parts 1-7 only and add this as Teacher Identified Professional Development (TIPD) on eTAMS. If you are a language teacher K-6, you may complete Parts 1-7 only and add this as Teacher Identified Professional Development (TIPD) on eTAMS. With our Assessment and reporting in 7-10 – new languages syllabuses workshops rolling out statewide from next week, we strongly recommend you revisit this important learning to maximise your participation in the assessment workshops.
