Teacher PD/PL
We think educators are simply amazing and have carefully curated our Professional development sessions and delivered them to hundreds of teachers over the last year. We are confident you will walk away feeling excited and supported in your teaching journey but don't just take our word for it.....
Some feedback from our attendees include:
​
"Honestly, this was one of the most informative and useful PDs I have ever attended. I wouldn't change anything!"
​
"It should be part of all teachers' PD experience so we are able to recognise, acknowledge and cater for the needs of all learners"
​
"This PD was prepared and delivered brilliantly. It provided an excellent balance of theory and practice, and enabled teachers to leave with engaging, highly practical ideas to implement, as well as a solid theoretical underpinning"
​
"Thank you for sharing your personal experiences and delivering a very informative and engaging professional development session to our teams. Your use of interactive and hands-on activities are not only engaging but also very relevant and useful tools that we can incorporate in our own practice. Highly recommend for anyone wanting to create a dynamic learning environment"
​
Below are the different sessions and topics we have available but we can also cater to full school/centre staff sessions if needed so please get in touch with us at admin@scienceplaykids.com.au to book this in.
SciencePlay Kids STEM PD/PL for Primary and Early secondary educators
Aimed at STEM specialists as well as classroom teachers who are incorporating STEM in their classroom from Prep to Year 9. You will explore a range of low-tech materials that you can use to engage all learners in your classroom in more STEM based conversations and investigations.

​
SciencePlay Kids Inclusive learning PD/PL for ALL educators
We will explore how different brains interact with information/ learning opportunities and how to ensure that all types of learners in your school or centre are able to access these opportunities. We'll delve into what helps ALL brains push learnings into long term memory and then retrieve and apply it when needed. We'll define who neurodivergent learners are, how they might navigate their world and help you recognise these individuals in your room. We'll then fill up your toolbox with lots of ways to accomodate these learners and help them to access ALL the learning opportunities you create.
​
​
SciencePlay Kids PD/PL for EARLY YEARS educators
In this full day workshop aimed to Early years educators, run by a neurodivergent scientist and STEM communicator, Dr. Loz, you will spend MOST of the day DOING all the things (no boring powerpoint presentations) and then take home a show bag of materials so you can take your learnings straight into your centre. We'll also give you access to loads of worksheets and lesson ideas.
