Professional Learning@YarraMe
|
YarraMe School promotes inclusive practices for students with special needs. We support mainstream schools by equipping education professionals with the strategies, skills and confidence they need to deliver safe, supportive and evidence-based teaching practices.
We believe in continuous learning and that the profession of teaching benefits greatly from lessons gathered from experience. As such, YarraMe’s courses are based on what we’ve learned from decades of practice.
Our professional learning courses meet the requirements of the Victorian Government’s Special Needs Plan. They contribute towards maintaining Proficient Teacher registration in Victoria and address the following descriptors in the Australian Professional Standards for Teachers:
