In response to increasing queries from members about accreditation at Proficient level, the IEU is launching an event specifically designed to help. The workshop will be trialled in the Sydney office in 2015.
Casuals and teachers without mentors/supervisors will be able to come to the Union-run workshops to find out about accreditation. The workshop is specifically for provisionally or conditionally accredited teachers.
The presenters will be Liz Finlay, IEU’s Accreditation Officer, and Professional Development Officer Amy Cotton. Both have years of experience of working with accreditation issues and evidence. They have a no-nonsense, practical way of addressing accreditation requirements.
Participants are encouraged to bring in their evidence and there will be plenty of time to start annotating it on the day. Working alone or in small groups, the participants will be able to workshop their ideas and check their understanding as they go.
The Union sees this as a way of helping members who ordinarily wouldn’t have access to information or mentoring on accreditation processes.
The workshops will be held in the Ultimo IEU office. They are in the school holidays so that casuals will be able to attend without skipping a potential day of work.
The initial dates for 2015 are:
15 April
29 June
22 September
