Professional Learning

CHES has been established to lead professional learning for teachers and emerging leaders in primary and secondary schools across Victoria to meet the needs of high-ability students.

Our professional learning courses will run throughout 2024 and will be repeated each term. The duration of each course is 1 ½ days with one full day followed by action research and a final half-day session.

Courses have been co-designed with a range of school-based staff to reflect the needs of teachers and leaders across the state.

Our three programs will be for:

• Primary school teachers
• Secondary school teachers
• School leaders

Deakin University are facilitating the professional learning courses and enabling participants to engage with current research on meeting the needs of high-ability students.

This program includes professional observations using pre-recorded 360-degree videos of classroom practice in Victorian schools.  As part of each of the courses, there will be an opportunity to apply these insights through a brief, focused and achievable short-term Action Research project. This will be implemented with guidance and support from the course facilitators.
