Growing Great Teachers Together: School Partnerships for the Future Workforce

Great teachers are developed through great partnerships.

La Trobe University’s School of Education invites school leaders, professional experience coordinators and staff who support pre-service teachers to join us for a focused partnership event about how universities and schools can work differently and more effectively, to develop the next generation of teachers.

This is more than a conversation about finding placements. It is an opportunity to build genuine, mutually beneficial partnerships that strengthen the teacher workforce, support schools and create high-quality professional experiences for our students.

Dr Haili Hughes, Associate Dean Education Partnerships and Professional Practice, will lead a practical and engaging discussion on coaching and mentoring as powerful approaches to developing beginning teachers, and how schools and La Trobe can work together to create the conditions in which pre-service teachers, mentors and school communities all benefit.

You will hear about La Trobe’s evolving approach to professional experience, explore opportunities for deeper partnership with the University, and help shape how we support schools and future teachers.

We welcome school leaders and staff who are interested in developing great teachers, strengthening the profession and shaping the future workforce to join us.

Guests are encouraged to park in the Visitor Car Park, accessible via the North Entry from Kingsbury Drive.

The Visitor Car Park is located between Car Parks 1 and 2, a short walk to the event venues.

Parking is free of charge for event attendees.
