Hi all,
In my small school, the PD (or should we more properly say PL) budget
is around $300 per head for the year, and now there is regional
pressure coming from the RNLs that PL be delivered in school rather
than outsourced. The VITTA VET half day has already cost $160, and
then there's the conference. Doesn't leave much I'm afraid.
Cheers
