Catholic Education Western Australia4 |

Curriculum Team Professional Learning RationaleCatholic Education Western Australia’s (CEWA) Vision for Learning states that the vocation of teaching demands careful preparation and continuing readiness to renew and adapt to the challenges of the 21st Century and beyond. Each professional learning event facilitated by the Curriculum Team strives to deliver contextual and exceptional learning experiences for all CEWA staff.

Professional learning must be differentiated; what is needed for one school or team may not be needed by another. Each person’s role, strategic priorities and context play a large part in determining what type of professional support and experience is required. All professional learning provides the opportunity to build teacher capacity in order to promote student learning.

High-quality professional development provides access to new technologies for teaching and learning. We actively engage teachers in meaningful and relevant activities for their individual contexts and promote peer collaboration and community building. The Curriculum Team strives to build capacity in CEWA schools and support a common vision for student learning.

The Curriculum Team is guided by the AITSL Teacher Standards, the Western Australian Curriculum and CECWA Strategic Directions 2019-2021. Our vision is to work alongside educators to develop capacity in teaching and learning, enabling children to flourish in our Christ-centered, child-focused schools.

Please note: Enrolments will be checked one week prior to the professional learning event. If there are fewer than 10 participants registered, the event will be referred to the Curriculum Team leader to determine viability.
