[Catalist] Question to Regional WA teachers...

[brendan o'brien]

Hi Pauline,

In a past life I ran professional learning programs for teachers as part of the Science in Schools initiative.

Heads of Department will always say you should run such programs in holidays and on the weekends.

This is, in effect, de-valuing the program and inferring it is an ‘add on’ that should be dependent on the copious good will of teachers.

I truly think such Women in STEM programs as you are designing are of the utmost importance, and as such should be held during a normal school week and thus supported by schools.

I hope it is a huge success!

> HI everyone NON METRO !  IF a fully funded Women in STEM one week live in program was offered next year, what would be preferable ?  Im considering the timing …would week 2 or 3 of Term 1 be preferable OR a week in January keeping it quite separate from the term ? It would be inclusive of 4 YR 10 female students and 1 teacher from each school. Your thoughts ?
