This Professional Development Workshop is designed for teachers in Queensland looking to enhance their skills in teaching Junior Graphics courses. Over a duration of 24 hours, participants will engage in a mixed-mode format that combines practical and theoretical learning. This workshop is ideal for educators who thrive in hands-on environments and seek to improve their teaching methodologies in Industrial Technology and Design.

During the workshop, participants will explore various aspects of graphics and 3D Computer Aided Design (CAD). The curriculum includes concept drawing, manual drafting, and the design/engineering process. Participants will also learn how to plan and develop courses effectively, ensuring they are well-prepared to teach these subjects in a supportive classroom setting.

Upon completion, attendees will receive a Certificate of Completion, which contributes to their Continuing Professional Development (CPD) requirements. Graduates can pursue roles such as Graphics Teacher, Industrial Technology Educator, or Curriculum Developer. The skills gained are transferable across various educational settings, making this workshop a valuable addition to any educator's professional toolkit.
