The Glasshouse believes strongly in providing professional development opportunities for our Teachers in the areas of performing arts, visual arts and heritage.
It’s our belief that delivering a range of interesting and worthwhile workshops, focus groups and materials will reinforce a Teacher’s drive and commitment to student learning, assist them to build a greater understanding and enjoyment of the live arts, and support formal learning contexts for students.
Professional Development activities currently available as part of the Glasshouse's 2010 Education Program include:
