Professional Learning Opportunities

At SCEAQ, we are committed to supporting educators with ongoing professional development to enhance the teaching of Humanities and Social Sciences (HASS). We offer a range of opportunities to ensure teachers are equipped with the latest tools, techniques, and knowledge to inspire their students.

Current Professional Development Opportunities

1. Webinars
   Join our live webinars designed to address key topics in HASS, including teaching Civics and Citizenship, inquiry-based learning, and integrating cross-curriculum priorities. Sessions are facilitated by experienced educators and subject matter experts.

2. Bi-annual Conference
   Our flagship event brings together educators from across Queensland to collaborate, share ideas, and learn from thought leaders in social education. Attendees can engage in workshops, discussions, and networking opportunities that focus on the latest in Civics and Citizenship while also integrating History, Geography, and Economics education.

3. Online Resources and Newsletter
   Members gain access to our regular newsletter as well as professional development resources, including recorded webinars, lesson plans, and articles. These resources are regularly updated to reflect changes in the Australian Curriculum and best practices in HASS education.
