Today we are adding a very important page to our blog. We believe it is of interest to our members, other CRTs in the Upper Hume region and Coordinators of other networks who might be struggling with members or PD seminar/workshop costs.
http://wodongacrtsupportnetwork.blogspot.com/p/pd-activity-structure.html
You can think of it as the "grand unveiling" of our plans for the future and what we are attempting to accomplish.
There ARE dangers associated with this plan but we are convinced that they are acceptable risks with minimal possible impact should anything go wrong. We have taken care to ensure that if anything DOES go wrong, it won't hurt the Network in any way. The worst that happens is we change our plans and do things a little differently!
The main risk is in one of the basic principles: Providing too many professional development opportunities leading to low attendance in some cases. This will still be seen as a success by VIT and the DEECD as long as CRTs are getting what they need from the Network. If everything is going well we can continue to provide too many opportunities or we can start to provide fewer.
However; we hope that the activites we provide and the way in which we provide them encourage you to obtain more PD than is required to satisfy VIT. In this case we win by becoming better teachers, schools win by getting access to us and (most importantly) local school children win as we are better prepared to meet the needs of each and every classroom.
