In creating my learning resources, I have expanded my teaching skills and professional knowledge… and had an incredible support crew to help me.”

Teacher Induction and Training Camp Overview

Key Focus Areas
Interactive Workshop: Throughout the two days, attendees can participate in interactive workshops facilitated by experienced Ochre educators. These will allow teachers to engage in hands-on creation, collaborate with peers, navigate around our drive and lesson templates and develop lesson-creation skills. The training camp will be an excellent opportunity for new teachers to familiarise themselves with the tools and materials they can utilise to enhance their teaching practices.
Networking and Collaboration: In addition to the informative sessions and workshops, break-out rooms will allow you networking opportunities and encourage collaboration to build relationships and you build lesson units of materials, share best practice, and learn from one another’s experiences.
