Through our proven experiential learning model, participants engage first-hand with material essential to supporting Australia’s next generation of thinkers, doers and creative problem solvers. Unlike traditional professional development programs, UpSchool 3-Day is intense and immersive. You will experience as a student the methods and processes involved in building a sustainable business, before jumping back into the shoes of a teacher to gain actionable implementation strategies.

Past participants have found that attending with one or more colleagues is most effective in implementation back at the school.

The UpSchool 3-Day curriculum is mapped to the AITSL Australian Professional Teachers Standards, the Australian Curriculum and the Victorian Curriculum.
