The Australian curriculum includes various units that students must learn before graduating. Teachers and Teacher Librarians (TL) often feel overwhelmed by numerous professional learning activities, including stage meetings. To effectively manage my professional development strategy, I plan to explore online training courses and stay updated on the latest trends in technology through various channels. This includes following and subscribing to the Australian Council for Computers in Education (2025) and attending EduTech conferences in 2025.

Additionally, I aim to influence my colleagues by initiating casual conversations to better understand their needs and preferences regarding training delivery. Based on this feedback, I will tailor training programs to support them. I will then approach my principal to discuss the concerns and needs of teachers, ensuring that our plans align with the school’s goals, and seek approval to organise several short training sessions to support our staff.
