Survival Kit for New Teachers
This term's PD in the Pub takes teachers new to the profession through a number of great activities that they can use in either the primary or secondary classroom.
Over many years of teaching, experienced educators develop the skills and knowledge needed to engage students even in the most challenging situations. It can take years to learn this stuff, or you can come to PD in the Pub, have a drink on us and walk away with a bunch of new skills and fun ideas.
These are really practical and educationally valuable activities that participants can turn to when they need to get a group of students on task or when the time is right to mix things up.
