Curriculum Team
Professional Learning Rationale
Catholic Education Western Australia’s (CEWA) Vision for Learning states that
the vocation of teaching demands careful preparation and continuing readiness
to renew and adapt to the challenges of the 21st Century and beyond. Each
professional learning event facilitated by the Curriculum Team strives to deliver
contextual and exceptional learning experiences for all CEWA staff.
Professional learning must be differentiated; what is needed for one school or
team may not be needed by another. Each person’s role, strategic priorities and
context play a large part in determining what type of professional support and
experience is required. All professional learning provides the opportunity to build
teacher capacity in order to promote student learning.
High-quality professional development provides access to new technologies for
teaching and learning. We actively engage teachers in meaningful and relevant
activities for their individual contexts and promote peer collaboration and
community building. The Curriculum Team strives to build capacity in CEWA
schools and support a common vision for student learning.
The Curriculum Team is guided by the AITSL Teacher Standards, the Western
Australian Curriculum and CECWA Strategic Directions 2019-2021. Our vision is to
work alongside educators to develop capacity in teaching and learning, enabling
children to flourish in our Christ-centered, child-focused schools.
Please note: Enrolments will be checked one week prior to the professional learning
event. If there are fewer than 10 participants registered, the event will be referred to
the Curriculum Team leader to determine viability.
