The afternoon was filled with lively conversations, opportunities to network, and plenty of enthusiasm! It was particularly encouraging to see pre-service teachers engaging with association representatives and exploring ways to connect with their profession beyond the university classroom. COACTEA was delighted to sponsor the event, providing a delicious selection of food and refreshments that added to the welcoming and relaxed atmosphere. We warmly thank the following professional associations and their representatives for generously sharing their time, expertise and enthusiasm:
Australian Professional Teachers Association (APTA)
ACT Careers Association (ACTCA)
ACT History Teachers’ Association (ACTHTA)
Australian Literacy Educators’ Association (ALEA)
Association of Teachers of English to Speakers of Other Languages in the ACT (ATESOL ACT)
Canberra Mathematical Association (CMA)
Design and Technology Teachers Association of the ACT (DATTA ACT)
Science Educators’ Association of the ACT (SEAACT)
Events such as this highlight the important role professional teaching associations play in supporting teachers throughout their careers, fostering professional connections, sharing expertise and encouraging ongoing professional growth. Thank you to everyone who contributed to making the Expo such an enjoyable and successful event. We look forward to continuing to strengthen connections between our professional associations and the next generation of teachers!
