Expenditure and Teacher Participation in Professional Learning<br />

Professional Learning is an important ingredient in overall school improvement and all staff are expected<br />

to model the Brigidine Core Value of a ‘love of learning.’ The College supports staff involvement in<br />

professional learning experiences and staff members have many opportunities to participate in teaching<br />

pedagogy. Consequently staff members at Marian are committed to the growth of their own professional<br />

knowledge and practice and they take part in formal and informal activities that strengthen the learning<br />

and teaching capacity at the school. At Marian we acknowledge that all who are employed by the school<br />

share in the duty of educating our students. Consequently, in <strong>2012</strong>, opportunities were offered to all staff to<br />

participate in professional development. In total, approximately $158,547 was committed to professional<br />

learning, shared between 99 staff members, resulting in an average spending of $1601 per staff member.<br />

Some of the major areas that were targeted for professional learning included:<br />
