Term 1 REEN Meeting February 2021 Online meeting 4.00pm - 5.00pm
Changes to NESA
Due to changes in NESA accreditation, from 1 January 2021, REEN is no longer recognised as a NESA course. Once
NESA has finalised their new criteria, application and assessment process we will apply for re-accreditation.
In the interim any teacher who attends a REEN meeting may be able to record these as Elective Professional
Development
If you choose to record this as an Elective PD this may fall under the category of;
• ‘any course and/or activity in a priority area that is not accredited’
• The priority area the ‘delivery and assessment of NSW Curriculum’ related to sustainability
And may fit into the following criteria;
• enhance teaching practice to effect positive change and impact on student/child learning progress and
achievement
• link to clear and relevant goals that are related to improving student/child outcomes
• be job-embedded and provide opportunities for collaboration, transference and application
• be research based and evidence based.
