Learning and Teaching

The core work of our region is to improve the performance of every student, teacher, leader and school. Our region supports teachers and students through the development of learning and teaching resources in many curriculum and program areas.

We offer websites and blogs, professional development activities and access to the support of project officers, networks and coaches.

For more information about Barwon South Western region’s resources and activities see:

• Early years learning – The Victorian Early Years Learning and Development Framework (VEYLDF) is being developed to identify a shared vision for children’s learning and to support and guide the work of professionals involved with children from birth into the early years of school
• Student learning and VELS – an outline of the Victorian Essential Learning Standards (VELS) subjects taught in schools
• eLearning – a range of activities supporting the development of our teachers as facilitators of 21st century learning
• Teacher networks – both formal and informal, these networks are a valuable resource for sharing information, experience and successful teaching strategies
• Pathways and transitions – support for teachers in preparing young people for the transition from school into further education and careers.
