Schools are encouraged to ‘pick’ the most relevant courses depending on where they are on their learning journey then strategically ‘choose’ the most appropriate educators to attend i.e. classroom teachers, Maths team members, executive. The intent is for schools to then implement the new ideas at either a whole stage or whole school level.
