Workshop Summary:
This Textile Technology Professional Development Workshop will provide you with the pedagogical content knowledge and skills required to teach Years 7-10 Textile Technology classes. This 3-day intensive workshop will inspire and (re)invigorate your passion for textiles through fun and engaging hands-on learning experiences where basic skills and the latest developments in textile technology are explored.
