Professional Development

An exciting professional development opportunity with Artist Educators from National Gallery of Australia in Maryborough Victoria on Friday 14 March 2025.

This is a one-day Professional Development Program for teachers and educators that will be developed and delivered by artist educators from the National Gallery of Australia focussed on works from the national collection that can be used to inform your education and teaching.

The program will be held here at Central Goldfields Art Gallery in Maryborough.  The cost of the program will be approximately $60.00 per person and bookings will be through the National Gallery of Australia website – Central Goldfields Teacher Engagement, Maryborough, VIC - National Gallery of Australia

About the program:  Participants will be encouraged to share and respond to works of art through an inquiry-led approach, engaging in creative learning strategies and reflection activities. Participants will be supported to build knowledge and understanding in multiple ways, through our senses, stories and imaginations. National Gallery Artist Educators will demonstrate ways you can bring works of art into your classroom or work environment, offering your learners opportunities to make personal connections to themes within the works, drawing from their own life experiences and appreciating the experiences of others.

A verifiable digital certificate will be delivered with 6 Continuing Professional Development Hours to each attendee.
