Professional Learning
Presentations & Workshops
As a community of educators, we believe that ongoing and evolving professional learning enables us to support each other and share the rich experiences which makes us all better educators. ATESOL NSW schedules regular events, including open forums. We value input from our members and welcome any suggestions for professional learning that you and your colleagues may have, especially if you are in regional NSW. Below are links to sessions ran in the last few years which are open to all to view.
Would you like to host an ATESOL workshop at your school, TAFE or Early Childhood workplace? Contact: Dr Kathy Rushton kathy.rushton@sydney.edu.au
