University English Centres Australia (UECA) and The University of Adelaide English Language
Centre present the UECA PD Fest Adelaide 2018.
This full day of professional development includes a selection of 40-minute presentations or workshops.
There will be a book exhibitor space, morning and afternoon refreshments, lunch, networking
opportunities and an afternoon social event.
|
|
The host institution is The University of Adelaide English Language Centre (ELC), in Adelaide. |
The theme for the UECA PD Fest Saturday 3 November is “Inspiring Engagement of Learners & Teachers”.
The day is aimed at providing professional development for teachers by teachers at UECA, NEAS and
English Australia member institutions. We are looking for examples of best practice from teachers and
administrative staff that others might take up and try in their own classrooms and centres to inspire and
increase engagement.
This PD event will be divided into four streams: Student Engagement, Teacher Engagement, Community
Engagement and Digital Engagement. Sessions might focus on the following:
Student Engagement
· Strategies for improving student engagement
· Fostering a positive learning environment through tasks and initiatives
inside & outside the classroom
· Independent learning
· Assessment & Feedback
· The connection between student engagement, student learning and student wellbeing
· Intercultural Communication activities
Teacher Engagement
· Inspiring teachers to engage students
· Maximizing teacher engagement through a collaborative workplace
· Validation of practice
· Meaningful professional development
· Professional interaction/training/peer observation
· Teacher wellbeing
Community Engagement
· Extra curricula activities & clubs
· Student Services
· Social Clubs
· Interacting with community groups
Digital Engagement
· Educational technology
· Online Communities
· Meaningful use of digital tools in the classroom
