Professional development opportunities for teachers

Professional Learning and Networks

Green Adelaide provides quality learning opportunities for educators. Professional learning sessions may be in-person or online. For sites registered with Sustainable Schools, we can provide tailored learning for your staff/faculty.  

Our sessions aim to provide: 

  • concise and current information on environmental or sustainability topics
  • hands-on activities and take-home resources
  • opportunities to connect with nature, hear from experts and network with other educators
  • certificates for attendees
  • real-world examples from schools in your local area, and much more. 

Early Years Educators Networks

The Early Years Educators Networks support early years educators to build skills and confidence in Education for Sustainability by providing opportunities to connect, share ideas, and take action. The networks are open to educators from kindergartens, preschools, Family Day Care, and childcare centres. 

There are three regional networks: Central, Southern and Northern. Each network meets 3–4 times a year, more than one staff member from a site can attend and they are free. Each session focuses on a topic chosen by the network and is held at a different venue, usually an early learning site. Sessions include sharing learning from a guest or hosting educator, time for discussion, and afternoon tea in a friendly, informal setting. To join a network, please contact your local Learning Partnerships Coordinator.
