PD Planning
Can a school book one workshop?
Yes. Each workshop stands alone. Schools can select the topic that meets a current priority or arrange the four workshops as a connected series. There is no prerequisite for any introductory session.
How do the short and long versions differ?
The short version introduces the core concepts and includes a focused application activity. The long version lasts half a day to one day and provides additional time for practice, discussion, feedback and planning. A half-day session focuses on selected applications; a full day allows further rehearsal, resource development and review. It is designed for participants who want to work through examples and adapt materials to their own setting.
Can the content be tailored?
Yes. Planning begins with the educational setting, participant roles, intended outcomes and available time. Examples can be adapted for particular school phases, subjects or staff groups. Tailoring can include local assessment expectations, anonymised classroom cases or resources supplied by the school.
How can the four workshops connect?
Academic integrity establishes expectations for responsible learning. Human ecology expands attention to the systems shaping learner experience. Cultural diversity examines assumptions and participation within those systems. Shared classroom expectations bring these perspectives into agreed routines and everyday teaching. Schools can choose the order to suit their priorities and allow time between sessions for application.
What should the organising school provide?
For in-person delivery, a presentation screen and space for discussion are useful. Online delivery requires a platform that supports discussion and shared activities. Any local examples should be supplied in advance and anonymised. Participant numbers, accessibility requirements, materials and breaks are agreed during planning.
How can learning continue after the workshop?
Participants can trial their selected action, gather relevant learner feedback or assessment evidence and revisit it with colleagues. A school may use an existing staff meeting or professional learning group to discuss what changed and what needs further attention. Additional facilitated sessions can be discussed as part of the programme design.
