Learning at WAB is a transformative process which is intentional and iterative, challenging and joyful, and serves an authentic purpose. WAB's Definition of Learning.
Welcome to our PD Day on Friday Nov. 10, 2023!
This day is designed to create opportunities for learning for everyone at WAB, as well as coming together as a professional community for sharing and celebration.
An overview of the schedule is below - please take a moment to check it carefully and see where you will be. The afternoon has opportunities for WAB Labs (overview here), where colleagues can connect and inspire each other. If you would like to host a session, please add it into MyTime.
The afternoon also includes some half-day workshops, including Safeguarding & SEL training for new teachers.
PD For Staff: Please see below for details of two workshops hosted by PD Academia, designed for Staff in roles other than teaching. Please check with your line manager or department head about plans for the day.
A light breakfast, lunch and after school will be catered, with wellbeing offerings before school and during lunch. In the afternoon, we look forward to live music and celebration.

This year we have partnered with PD Academia to provide some options for Staff in roles other than teaching. These are developed for TA's, admin staff and others who are interested. To sign up for either of these, please contact Anita Rong directly, before 4pm, Weds 8 Nov.
9-11am HUB Link: Knowing the People You Serve & Their Preferences
To support and serve others more fully, it is vital to be attentive to them to know who they are and what they want. Participants will learn about profiling. Active listening establishes connections between participants and the people they support and serve, which allows for ease of interaction and ensures that messages are being related completely and accurately. This will encourage these people to express themselves more clearly and candidly.
1-4pm HUB Link: Collaboratively Communicating to Solve Problems
To communicate effectively and influence others, we need to understand ourselves and how our priorities affect others. Participants will use a temperament profile assessment to become more interpersonally aware and identify strategies for working effectively with people that have different priorities to their own.
