2027 VCE Mini-Method (livestream)

VATE’s Mini Methods are an interactive opportunity to deepen your knowledge, understanding and skills in teaching VCE English/EAL, Literature and English Language. Each mini-method provides an opportunity to build your capacity and confidence in translating the Study Design into classroom practice. Learn from an experienced VCE teacher through real time discussion, feedback and the opportunity to ask questions to clarify your understanding. Exchange ideas with colleagues as you work through common challenges of the course and unpack the decisions behind text selection, strategies for reading engagement and writing development, effective moderation processes and ways to support students for success in their studies.

The mini-method is suitable for those teachers who are:

• Teaching VCE for the first time.
• Looking for a refresher about the requirements of the Study Design.
• Hoping to interrogate the nuances and complexities of the Study Design.
• Planning to implement VCE Literature or English Language in their context.
• Working to develop consistency in practice across their school.
• Wanting to develop a network for sharing, collaboration and moderation.
   

All participants will gain clarity about the relevant Study Design and practical insights into how this might influence their teaching practice, lesson planning and resource development.

The 2027 Mini Methods will be delivered live and in-person with a livestream registration option for teachers who are unable to attend the venue.

The program is split into morning and afternoon sessions, with the option to attend both sessions. Please see the event flyer for more information on how each day is structured before registering.
