Free teacher training workshops

Teacher training workshops are being held across the EnergyAustralia network area during June 2008.

The Energy Australia /DET Electricity Safety Week hands-on workshops are open to teachers and will assist participants to:

1. develop a greater understanding of the science and technology processes, investigating scientifically and designing and making
2. develop a greater understanding of the Stage 3 physical phenomena strand
3. participate in the Energy Australia Electricity Safety week competition.

Following are the workshop locations and times. All sessions run from 4pm to 6pm.

Demand for attendance at these workshops is likely to be high so early enrolment is encouraged. The events will also provide a valuable networking opportunity for teachers.

To enroll in one of these workshops, send your details to Heather Brown. hbrown@energy.com.au
