THE WAY (Term 1 Week 9 - 23 March 2020)
There is no Going Deeper this week.
As well as email updates being sent to all staff regarding the Coronavirus, further information can also be found on the Catholic Schools Office intranet here.
We are currently in communication with Monash University regarding how to move forward with EMU Specialist Courses for 2020, and how we may continue current intervention groups. We will keep you informed of any updates.
Graduate Teachers who are aligned to the Lismore Teacher Accreditation Authority (TAA) are reminded that online submissions for proficient teacher applications will start from 1 June 2020. Any graduate teachers applying for proficiency through the online portal will need to complete the following two-step process:
- Go to eTAMS and update employment and identify your school (where you have a mentor) as your main place of employment.
- Open your Proficient teacher application, confirm your workplace and click confirm (this will send an email to the principal who will then add your supervisor/mentor to your account via their Principals Dashboard).
Schools are to follow social distancing advice when scheduling CPT/Practice tests.
If schools cannot have the intended numbers online over the 12.00pm CPT, then they are encouraged to have as many participate as possible, even if it’s only a class group. Some school’s may wish to organise their participation in the CPT as planned with students online in their classrooms rather than as a whole cohort in the school hall.
Practice testing can be done with smaller numbers of students over an extended practice window on 23 March-9 April.
Please note the importance of participation in the practice tests for both schools and students. In addition, back-end data regarding the success of school participation will inform CSNSW readiness certification advice to NESA.
NESA will confirm this advice via email directly to principals.
As part of the Invercauld House Conference Centre’s ongoing refurbishment and service, you are invited to complete a survey. Feedback from the survey will enable staff at the Conference Centre to correct facilities and services for their guests.
The survey will take five minutes to complete. Link: https://surveyhero.com/c/5f34c490
