COVID-19 information.

We are closely following the advice of health authorities to guide our decision making in relation to hosting face-to-face workshops. Should circumstances change this ‘face to face” QTR workshop will be converted to an Online QTR workshop. Participants will be notified of any changes by email and workshop resources will be sent by post and email prior to the workshop.

This intensive two-day workshop:

• Will prepare school leaders and teachers for implementing Quality Teaching Rounds;

• Is designed for schools and/or teachers new to Quality Teaching Rounds;

Completing the Quality Teaching Rounds Professional Development Workshop before 31 July 2021 under NESA’s interim arrangements will contribute 10 hours of NSW Education Standards Authority (NESA) Accredited PD in the priority area of Delivering and assessment of NSW curriculum, addressing standard descriptors 1.3.2, 2.2.2, 6.2.2, 6.3.2, 6.4.2 from the Australian Professional Standards for Teachers towards maintaining Proficient Teacher Accreditation in NSW.

Includes the following sessions:

• From Quality Teaching to Quality Teaching Rounds: Research background

• The Quality Teaching model: Refresher

• Essential features of Quality Teaching Rounds

• Practicalities of conducting Quality Teaching Rounds

• Diagnosing classroom practice through Quality Teaching Rounds

• Preparing for Quality Teaching Rounds at your school

Please note: Workshop dates and details are subject to change.

Full participation in both days of the workshop is required.

This workshop is open to ALL schools. The workshop fee is $750.00.

As part of the project Building Capacity for Quality Teaching in Australian Schools, the NSW Department of Education is funding 2 tickets per NSW DoE school. We welcome attendance from multiple teachers per school, however NSW DoE schools that have previously received 2 free tickets to ANY Quality Teaching Rounds workshop will need to purchase additional tickets at the standard workshop fee of $750.00.

Schools are encouraged to register at least two people to develop sufficient school-based knowledge to support implementation. Ideally, one person would have some decision-making authority in the school.
