Become a VCE Vocational Major (VM) and Victorian Pathways Certificate (VPC) community of practice leader

Principals/directors and applied learning teachers and leaders

We are seeking expressions of interest from VIT registered teachers or qualified trainers with extensive applied learning knowledge to lead communities of practice across Victoria to support the implementation of the VCE VM and VPC.

The community of practice provides a forum for teachers to collaboratively reflect, review and regenerate their teaching and learning practices. Members convene once a term to deepen their knowledge and expertise in applied learning. The leader will help to develop a strong culture across their assigned region of collaboration and assist members to share ideas and knowledge regarding the development and implementation of the VCE VM and VPC.

Express your interest through the Staff Sessional Management System.
