Short Saturday Courses in 2008
These CMCT courses will focus on developing teachers' understanding of key topics in the curriculum. These courses will be particularly useful to teachers who are wanting to enhance their confidence in delivering more challenging aspects of the curriculum or to extend their teaching range. All the workshops will be presented by Dr Judy Paterson and work in the workshops will be supported by experienced tutors.
Each of these courses will focus on developing:
- a sound understanding of the content
- the ability to understand students’ questions in the domain
- the language needed to explain and elaborate key ideas
- the ability to make connections between ideas and concepts
- fluency in using different representations
Each course will consist of two four-hour workshops that will run on Saturdays from 10:30 – 3:00 with a break for lunch. Cost per course $250 plus GST
