ACHPER NSW offers a comprehensive Stage 6 HMS professional learning program, co-designed and delivered by ACHPER NSW staff and experienced teachers. 

The Collaborative Investigation is an exciting but challenging feature of the new HMS syllabus. Many teachers are wondering where to start.

Learn to design, implement, and assess a Collaborative Investigation at this experiential, interactive workshop. We explore two options for delivery:

• Focus area 1 – Investigating health issues for young people
• Focus area 2 – Designing training programs.

Unpack practical processes, strategies, and templates to help you scaffold learning and keep students on task. Throughout the day teachers will play the role of students as we model engaging and intentional approaches.

You’ll also be guided through individual and group assessment of the Collaborative Investigation.

The workshop includes a range of practical resources such as:

• Scaffolds, rubrics, and observational records for self, peer and teacher assessment
• Team collaboration document for focus area 1 and focus area 2 to use with your class
• Ideas to engage your students from the start of the program
• Sample learning sequences that embed collaborative activities into the teaching sequence for focus area 1 and 2.

Who should attend? Any PDHPE teachers interested in teaching the Stage 6 HMS course.
