2023 VATE Mini-methods

In 2023, VATE’s Mini-Method program will support teachers with the undertaking of the new Study Designs for English, English as an Additional Language and Literature to be implemented in classrooms from Term One, 2023 and English Language to be implemented in Term One, 2024. The Mini-Method is designed to support teachers’ understanding of the implications of the new Study Designs, provide an opportunity to upskill in content-specific knowledge, as well as assist with the planning and preparation involved with the VCE Englishes courses. The Mini-Method programs are suitable for those teaching VCE Englishes for the first time, and more experienced teachers who are looking to enhance their understanding of the new Study Designs. Registration also includes access to the recordings of the workshops, and any notes or resources that presenters make available.
