VIT hosts first Welcome to the Profession Conference
On Friday 22 November 2024, we were joined by over 200 pre-service and provisionally registered teachers and permission to teach holders for the first ever VIT Welcome to the Profession Conference!
Following a Welcome to Country from the Wurundjeri Corporation, VIT Chairperson Lesley Lamb and Acting CEO Geoff Coates welcomed teachers and unpacked the importance of VIT's role and the requirements of a regulator. In our morning and afternoon sessions, renowned educational consultant Glen Pearsall shared effective classroom management strategies to develop and support teaching practice across a broad range of learning settings.
99% of attendees shared that they were 'very likely' or ‘likely’ to implement the knowledge and skills from the workshop in their teaching practice.
100% of attendees said the resources were useful and they would recommend the workshop!
Over lunch teachers had a chance to network and meet our exhibitors to understand the support on offer in the early stages of their teaching careers. Thanks to Australian Education Union Victoria, Independent Education Union Victoria Tasmania - IEU, Australian Education Research Organisation (AERO), Department of Education teams from Koorie Outcomes, Career Start and Early Learning Practice and Participation, Victorian Academy of Teaching and Leadership, Teacher Learning Network, CRTPD (Casual Relief Teacher Professional Development), Melbourne Archdiocese Catholic Schools, Diocese of Ballarat Catholic Education Limited (DOBCEL), Diocese of Sale Catholic Education Ltd - DOSCEL and Catholic Diocese of Sandhurst for joining us.
