Professional Development

professional development

At the ACTF, our goal is to support teachers in the ongoing improvement of student learning outcomes.

Our Professional Development workshops are designed to:

  • Demonstrate current and effective pedagogy
  • Encourage the use of new and emerging technologies
  • Provide teachers with resources that promote the application of deep thinking and critical reflection

The ACTF conducts regular professional learning workshops. These "train the trainer" sessions are designed to equip teachers with the skills and knowledge to make the most of our resources and, importantly, to build a culture of professional leadership and learning.
