early November update



The biggest news is we produced a DVD to demonstrate the teaching strategies that appear on the frequency observation sheet. Lots of people contributed to this - above all Jacquie as director/producer, Ian as cameraman, teachers Bruce, Douglas, Helen, John, Susan, Tim and many students.

I have written a training outline and will spend some time next week with Susan planning the program.

Together with Peter from PPU I met with Lisa from SQIT and Jill from WBIT and we are all set to go in March with the training to take place in Brisbane. I will follow up with visits to each institute for co-observations and whatever else is needed.

We are going to run a trial here at TNQT, looks like November 22 and 24 - have had several expressions of interest (after getting the go-ahead from Education & Training) and the majority favour the November dates.

Jo has asked me to run some sessions in Mt Isa as well, last week of January. So it's all go!
