Workshops
Responding to teacher feedback, we are currently developing a Teacher Professional Learning program to be delivered on demand via a Learning Management System. This exciting new program is due to be launched early to mid-2025.
Professional learning
The Parliamentary Education Office provides professional learning for teachers and pre-service teachers. Our programs are free and align with the Australian Curriculum. We help teachers deliver informative and engaging parliamentary and civics and citizenship curriculum for their students.
Self paced learning
These comprehensive self-paced courses are aligned to the Australian Curriculum and are suitable for primary and secondary teachers. Each module contains detailed content information with links to further resources, discussion questions and engaging classroom activities.
