We are now delivering a customised workshop for teachers wanting to gain the TAA qualification. It includes RPL, two days of workshop and recognition of the teacher qualification and experience. The two day workshop focuses on aspects that teachers don't usually cover in their teaching ie History of the formation of the National VET System, the frameworks, policies and strategies that impact on the system, Unpacking of training packages to create learning programs and assessment tools, and the development of assessment plans and assessment tools which are then validated at a validation meeting.
So far the feedback has been really good with even experienced practitioners saying that they learned new things.
The Esperance workshop went well with a mix of experienced and new practitioners. Coodanup Community College become a Senior HIgh School next year and will offer VET subjects to year 11's for the first time. However some teachers have been offering Vocational Learning for many years.
