EVENT FLYER
In this workshop SEAQ committee members will present information about teaching strategies that develop understandings of the concepts underlying the forthcoming Australian Curriculum: Civics and Citizenship. There will be a focus on concepts appropriate to all Year levels (e.g. democracy, justice), and an opportunity for teachers in Year level or Band groups to apply the strategies to their own level.
This pd, which is a repeat of the event held in October last year, is to cater for schools on the south side of Brisbane. It will be repeated again in May 2016 for north side schools.
