July update - launch of the one day workshops


Mike, Phil, Lyndal and I co-facilitated the first TROPIC One Day Teacher Workshop a couple of weeks ago on Monday July 7th. Fifteen teachers attended - many of them Trades teachers, with teachers from Learning Support, RATEP, TAA, ESL also taking part. The workshop went well - though I know we can do it even better - and we got good feedback.
The next workshop is scheduled for Friday August 8th here at Cairns campus.
I'm also scheduled to conduct some one day workshops at SkillsTech the week of August 25th. I'm hoping Lyndal will be able to co-facilitate a couple of them and maybe some of the SkillsTech mentors will as well.
Had a request from BRIT for confirmation of costing so they can see if it will fit in their budget.
Next week is our ART teleconference. Yesterday I briefed Donna-Maree on the action research plan and she was very positive.
