When planning your professional learning program
for 2007, consider the relevant, engaging, curriculum-linked
PD provided for free by LandLearn. If you are
interested in organising a workshop for your whole
school staff, cluster or network focussed on student
learning about sustainable agriculture and natural
resource management themes, please contact the
Professional Development Coordinator to discuss
the options.
Learning
in the Garden PD, so popular in 2006 will
continue in 2007. LandLearn will host the first
one day workshop in Bendigo early in term 2. It
will feature a variety of VELS-linked hands-on
activities aimed at bringing edible gardens into
the classroom in meaningful ways with learning
integrated across the Science, Humanities, Health

at levels 3, 4 and 5. This session will provide
the perfect opportunity to network and share ideas
about gardening in dry times. More details to
