Where: Williamstown Primary School, Cecil St, Williamstown 

Who: All teachers, particularly Middle Years teachers (years 5 to 8) 



• How can we organise authentic 21st century learning environments? 

• How can we design curriculum which engages and challenges students with authentic learning activities? 

• How can we assess such activities (in the light of school, statewide and national testing demands)? 

• How can we assist a process of ongoing curriculum change in our classrooms, learning teams/faculties and schools? 



The Challenge Based Learning series is designed to answer these questions over six sessions.
