Educational Consulting and CPTD Training
Following on 40 years of experience in adult education, the most recent focus is on the development of training material for teachers’ CPTD points. This is done in consultation with SACE, teachers, school principals, education-based trade unions and government. Different from most other service providers, the SACE endorsed CPTD points are completed online – 24/7 and in the comfort of the teacher’s office or home.
The specialised electronic platform is designed to allow teachers to access CPTD training material online from their personal computers, tablets and smart phones.
SACE registration and continued compliance for professional teachers require that each teacher must do 50 CPTD points per annum, with a total of 150 in a 3-year cycle. In support of the teachers to achieve this goal, the CPTD-Online platform gives access to SACE endorsed courses in:
- Classroom wellbeing (interpersonal and emotional skills)
- Staffroom wellbeing (personal leadership and management skills)
- Community wellbeing (professionalism and community leadership)
- Financial wellbeing (household budget management, leaving a legacy, wills and estate planning, retirement and pension management)
- Personal wellbeing (management of health, personal and family goals and ambitions)
Direct value of this online learning platform for teachers include:
- The teacher is able to access the training material at any time when it is most suitable for the teacher personally.
- The platform completely eliminates classroom downtime for the purpose CPTD-Online teacher training.
- The choice from about 30 courses depends largely on the personal interest of each teacher.
- The lowest possible personal financial cost to acquire SACE endorsed CPTD points.
- Participating teachers are in control of their personal interests and learning pace.
In addition to the 24/7 CPTD-Online platform for individual teachers the AVAVA Educational Consultation Team is available to do guidance and couching on matters like training of SGBs, parent groups and specialised teacher groups on community development, problems with racism and challenges related to cultural diversity.
