Term Three Professional Learning Workshops for Victorian DET Teachers

Making the Most of ACTF Content in FUSE:

In partnership with the Victorian Department of Education and Training the ACTF will be running free full-day professional learning workshops for DET primary and secondary teachers in Term Three. 

Through the DET FUSE portal Victorian government teachers and students now have access to some of the best Australian-made children’s television and curriculum resources developed by the Australian Children’s Television Foundation.

In a series of full-day workshops in Term Three the ACTF Education Team, in partnership with the Victorian Department of Education and Training, will walk primary and secondary DET teachers through how the ACTF content in FUSE can be effectively used across the Years F-12.

Content, resources and tools for Little Lunch, Mustangs FC, Lah-Lah’s Adventures – Music for Everyone, Woven Threads and MY:24 will be covered.  Teachers will explore how the ACTF content, curriculum resources and tools they have access to via FUSE could be used in the classroom and develop practical ideas to take back to their colleagues.
