New community PD project launched!

With the CRT Resource Challenge now closed it's time to look at a new Community adventure in the creation of PD documents for our fellow CRTs.  Many of you will remember our last community PD project, The CRT handbook and again the approach is twofold.  Firstly it is to create affordable and accessible PD for all CRTs across Victoria.  The second agenda is to again produce a testimonial to the professionalism and capability of Victorian CRTs in order to bring the focus of our various governing bodies on CRT issues and the value in doing so. 

View the Prezi on it's home page.

Some of the video many of you will have seen before.  As we are building a prototype we have used previously produced video from the Wodonga CRT Support Network YouTube channel as well as the "40 Weeks, 40 Classrooms!" videos.  This allows us to minimise the effort involved in creating the first working model.

As it is also the first we decided to start at the beginning:  The grass-roots information you should be aware of when stepping into the role of CRT.

It's currently at 3 out of 5 sections in a working (but incomplete) form. This includes 32 minutes of core video and 17 minutes of optional video in 13 content-based frames.

It is currently broken down into 5 segments:

• The job description - the core daily stuff you need to know (working).
• Your Bag of Tricks - populating your bag of tricks (placeholder only).
• Building relationships with students quickly (working).
• Being resourceful in the classroom (working).
• Being prepared for daily work (placeholder only).

The Place Holder frames contain some basic information about what we intend to include so you can see what direction we are heading.

Feel free to let us know what you think!

Regards,

Mel.
