Professional Teaching Cluster Term 3 - Executive Function

Are you a Queensland teacher or leader in a school that has a student/s with an intellectual disability or Down syndrome? Would you like the opportunity to receive free PD and network with other education professionals throughout the school year?

Down Syndrome & Intellectual Disability Queensland would like to invite you to join our FREE Professional Teaching Cluster.

Our third Professional Teaching Cluster meeting topic of 2025 is on Executive Function.

• This session will equip educators with practical strategies to support students’ focus, organisation, and emotional regulation.

• Participants will learn how to recognise Executive Function challenges in the classroom and implement simple, high-impact adjustments to boost student engagement and independence.

• We aim to build teacher confidence in fostering inclusive, well-managed learning environments through an Executive Function lens.

We hope to create a network of educators who are interested in connecting with other like-minded educators and to learn about authentic and sustainable inclusive teaching and learning strategies.

*The last PTC meeting for 2025 will take place on October 23rd.
