Professional learning survey

We are currently conducting a survey to gather input from practitioners for future professional learning in 2023. We hope to gather thoughts from as many practitioners around the state as possible. Please take 5 minutes to fill out this survey and let us know what you would like to learn about in support of the new VCE VM and VPC curricula. The survey will stay open for the first 3 weeks of Term 2.

Communities of practice

Applied learning communities of practice have been established across the state to support teachers to implement the VCE VM and VPC. The groups form a robust network that focuses on the collaborative development of high-quality curriculum and pedagogical practice and are led by expert applied learning practitioners in each area.
