Your Learning Partner Semester 1, 2020 Learning Opportunities
Supporting teachers as
lifelong learners
Teachers, like their students, are expected to be lifelong
learners. For teachers, this means their training and professional
education doesn’t end when they gain their qualifications and
start work in a school. They have to do more. Throughout their
careers, they are obliged to engage in continuing professional
learning that they have to document and apply.
This requirement recognises that teaching, like learning, is a
dynamic process, where content, curriculum and methods can
change and new ideas can emerge to meet the changing needs
and expectations of students and society.
Supporting this professional learning is an essential part of the
way Independent Schools Victoria (ISV) supports staff in our
Member Schools.
Central to this work have been the courses, seminars and other
events delivered through ISV’s Development Centre.
Over the years, the range of what The Development Centre
offers has grown to assist school communities as they confront
new challenges.
