Course description
Support Teacher Forums are designed to provide professional learning, resources, and collaboration opportunities for Support Teachers working with students with disabilities.
Each school is required to have a representative attend these forums to ensure consistent communication, shared learning, and system-wide alignment.
Each forum offers practical strategies, updates from the Department for Education, Children and Young People (DECYP), and the chance to connect with colleagues from across the state. Participants will hear from guest speakers, access tools and templates, and engage in discussions that build skills and confidence in their role.
By attending, Support Teachers will strengthen their knowledge, share ideas, and take away practical approaches to better support student learning and inclusion.
