One Day Workshop
CHES, in partnership with Deakin University, is offering a statewide professional learning program for Victorian government school teachers. Across one-day workshops running each term, participants explore who high-ability learners are, how to design curriculum that challenges them, and evidence-based pedagogy aligned with VTLM 2.0. Sessions are hy-flex (in person at CHES, South Yarra, or online via Zoom), run 9:00am–3:30pm, and include access to a Deakin resource portal and a practical classroom action plan. The program is fully subsidised for government schools, with CRT funding available. Certificates of completion are issued by CHES and Deakin University.
