The aim of the share and connect sessions are for branch members to share ideas and resources, meet other interested educators and engage in rigorous and respectful discussion.

Share and connect sessions will initially take place online, due to the uncertainty of the current landscape.

Each session will have a focus although there will be opportunities for more general discussion and sharing.

The focus of our first branch session is 'book language' and links to our upcoming webinar and recommended reading for the term.

Think about a book that has had an impact on you. It may be a work related book or a book that you read as a child. If you have a copy, then bring it along to our share session.
