Ongoing involvement in the Time to Act program: A pathway to teaching leadership

We’re excited to offer a flexible and dynamic approach for you to get involved with the Time to Act program and contribute to professional learning required for VIT registration.

Our program is structured into three stages, allowing you to engage at a level that suits your professional goals and experience. Each stage is aligned with relevant AITSL standards and includes certification that can serve as evidence for supporting career advancement, such as applying for new roles or promotions.

How do I join?

The easiest way to join the Time to Act community of practice is by attending a professional learning workshop. Our next workshop is being held at The Ian Potter Centre: NGV Australia, Federation Square, on Saturday 9th November, 2024 (10am-4pm).
