Join us for a day of professional development and expert-led sessions designed to support and inspire science educators across NSW. With a strong emphasis on implementing the new syllabi and delivering inquiry-based learning, the program blends research-backed strategies with hands-on workshops and practical classroom resources. Across three workshop blocks and a compelling keynote, participants will explore how to integrate curriculum aligned explicit instruction, critical thinking, and data-driven inquiry into their teaching practice, building capability and confidence to implement new science syllabi.
