Friday 11 October | Nazareth College
SASTA is dedicated to empowering early career teachers with the tools and opportunities they need to succeed and thrive in their professional journey. Our Early Career Teachers Conference is a one-day event on 11 October 2024 at Nazareth College, designed specifically for graduates and teachers in the first few years of their careers.
This conference offers a unique platform for educators to explore and reflect on their professional identity, enhance their teaching practice, and prioritise their wellbeing. With four dynamic streams—Engagement, Wellbeing, Curriculum Focus, and Practical Lessons—participants will find a wealth of sessions tailored to their needs and interests.
Highlights of the conference include:
- Engagement Strategies: Discover innovative methods to foster student engagement and minimise classroom disruptions.
- Wellbeing Workshops: Learn practical strategies for maintaining mental health and resilience in the demanding field of education.
- Curriculum Insights: Gain insights into effective lesson planning, curriculum development, and the integration of hands-on science.
- Practical Lessons: Explore how to efficiently run practical work and achieve the best educational outcomes.
The day will culminate in a Share-a-thon, an informal setting where multiple presenters share innovative teaching ideas in short, impactful presentations. This is a fantastic opportunity to connect with peers, exchange ideas, and build a supportive professional network.
Join us at the Early Career Teachers Conference and take a significant step in your teaching career!
