Semester 1, 2020 Learning Opportunities
Your Learning Partner
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.
But we recognise that we have to adapt – not only in what we offer teachers and other school staff, but in how we deliver our services.
That’s why we’re building on our record to provide support in flexible ways that meet the demand for learning programs required by all school staff.
Soon we will be launching isLearn, an addition to the isEducation suite of online products developed by ISV to support schools in every area of their complex operations.
isLearn is an online gateway to new ideas, a hub of individualised learning options for everyone working in schools. It will allow you to register for programs, engage with presenters, join discussion forums, store resources, and document and track all the learning events you’ve taken part in.
It will enhance our existing work by providing learning opportunities that are accessible when and where you need them, becoming a digital companion of the face-to-face programs offered at The Development Centre and the in-school support we will continue to provide.
Supporting teachers as lifelong learners
And while it helps grow your confidence and expertise, isLearn will also grow your networks, allowing users to build relationships and foster collaboration that lead to greater learning opportunities – so you can better meet the needs of students.
As we ready ourselves to make this exciting new hub available to you, our website – www.is.vic.edu.au – continues to provide details and registration opportunities for our full selection of programs.
To learn more about what’s on offer now, and what we’re planning for the future, please contact our Development Centre.
