It’s been an unprecedented and tragic summer in Australia and whether your school community was directly affected by bushfires or not, all of us are feeling the devastation.
When schools return in 2020, teachers will be faced with questions about fire safety and issues like managing grief, loss and how to help.
To help teachers and school staff prepare, the CompliLearn Team from CompliSpace has curated a professional development program that covers both the practical and emotional sides of bushfire readiness and recovery.
Bushfire Readiness and Safety includes topics on the practical side of keeping students and the school community safe like school preparedness and coping with poor air quality.
Research on psychological outcomes from disaster media coverage shows that children are particularly vulnerable to trauma resulting from absorbing images and concepts like those that have been broadcasting across Australia. Further, trauma pauses the ability to learn.
The purpose of this PD is to help teachers recognise signs of trauma in students and provide strategies to assist them.
Because we know there is a regulatory driver for governor PD and you have the staff learning system already, we’re making it as easy as possible to get this new Learning List added to your staff learning system.
Simply order the list and we will add it to your staff learning system.
You will have free access to the list for 30 days. If after that time you don’t see the value, you can easily request that we remove the list and we won’t invoice you.
Your investment for the GRC List is just $2900 per annum.
