Schools in Victoria are currently facing a severe shortage in recruiting trained Design & Technologies teachers. Over the past few years, many D&T teachers have retired, and with limited opportunities for people to undertake initial teacher education in D&T, we have a situation with a growing number of job openings and no one to fill them. DATTA Vic is working with our partners to develop long term solutions to this crisis.
However, we understand that schools need support now, as more and more teachers from other learning areas (art, science, etc) are being called on to deliver the D&T curriculum. We also know that the problem is even greater for schools in regional areas.
Therefore we are repeating our Online Teaching Design Masterclass for our members in Term 2. The program is targeted at new and existing teachers who may not have had initial Technologies Teacher training but are currently teaching the D&T curriculum in secondary schools. However, it is also very relevant to existing teachers of D&T who wish to learn more about design education.
The Masterclass will be delivered by Peter Murphy, former president of DATTA Australia and DATTA Vic who has been delivering Teaching Design Masterclasses for DATTA Vic since 2019. Peter is a sought after speaker and leader in Design and Technologies education. He lectures in Initial Teacher Education at La Trobe University and Southern Cross University and on Industrial Design at RMIT, and runs his own Technologies Education Consultancy.
The program will be delivered via five webinars. These will run from 5pm - 7pm on 11th July, 18th July, 25th July, 1st August & 8th August. There will also be 2 hours of project work each week, to be carried out at a time suitable for each participant.
