The Curriculum Team will be providing professional learning for early years during 2020.
Please indicate what professional learning you would appreciate being offered to assist
you in meeting the needs of children in your school.

1. Current examples of high quality practice in CEWA schools would be useful for
staff to access via teams or otherwise.
2. Using Stream or similar to engage Staff in PD would be particularly useful for
regional areas.
