New VCE English Teachers' Day

27th February 2026

​

Friday February 27th - Collins Street, Melbourne

​

THE ENGLISH LAB will begin 2026 with a teacher training day for new or returning VCE teachers – or even those that want to freshen up their perspective on the study design and how to teach it best. The day will centre around the essential skills of each area of study, particularly Creating Texts.

Teachers will be provided with:
 

• Templates for engaging and effective resources.

• Strategies for connecting with students and ensuring that each class is focused on necessary skills.

• Samples of student work to use as exemplars in the classroom.

​

As with all professional development run by the English Lab, we see this as an initial step towards working further with teachers in the future. Teachers who register for the workshop will be able to contact Ben throughout their journey of teaching VCE English in 2026 for support, advice and guidance.
 

Book your place through our Professional Learning page. 

​

$330. Please contact us if you are looking to register more than two teachers. One ticket covers one attendee. An invoice will be sent upon purchase of ticket.

See what some of our previous presentation attendees had to say about our sessions.

​

"A really practical-based session, provision of effective strategies and teacher support on how to implement these to get the best out of every student. This has to be the best Comparative PD yet! Highly recommend it!"

- Caitlin, Elisabeth Murdoch College

​

"These resources feel immediately useful, and collated in a meaningful sequence...I feel as thought I could confidently give the the workbook to use as the 'unit plan'. It's a huge weight off my shoulders and a wonderful way to begin a unit."

​

"Being in a regional area meant being able to access this online was actually a real bonus. I also really appreciate the fact that I can go back over the presentation again as I need to."

- Kath, King's College
