Program Overview

This short workshop will give school leaders a comprehensive understanding of how to help their teams of teachers use and adapt Ochre materials. This will include looking at the supports provided by Ochre, the role of Ochre materials in classrooms and how to plan a curriculum that integrates Ochre materials with current school materials.

The first cohort will be a pilot program, and limited to just 25 schools. As it is a pilot, we would be seeking feedback from participants on the program and how it could be made even more useful for schools.

What will I learn about?

How Ochre supports implementation of resources
The role of Ochre materials in the classroom
How to plan a curriculum using prepared materials, including integration of Ochre with existing school materials
How to adapt materials to suit school contexts

The program will be run by Ochre Education leaders with additional support from Ochre’s education team.

Who is it for?

This program is designed for leaders who are keen to know how to plan with, adapt and effectively implement Ochre resources. Participants can be drawn from across States and Territories and all sectors. This course will draw on Ochre resources to demonstrate key concepts. To ensure that we maximise access to this free course, the program will be limited to one participant from each school per term.

How is it structured?

There is one 2 hour virtual workshop (via Zoom) (scheduled during late mornings AEST / early mornings AWST), in which leaders will learn about how to implement Ochre resources across their school.

When does the program run?

The program will be delivered every term, starting in Term 4 2024.
