Friday, October 9, 2026·9:00 AM

The University of Waikato's professional development programme continues into October 2026 with a series of weekly online sessions running on Fridays (and one Wednesday) from 1:00pm to 2:00pm New Zealand time. Sessions are scheduled for 2, 7, 9, 16, 23, and 30 October, with additional sessions continuing into November. The University of Waikato is one of New Zealand's leading research universities, and its education faculty has a strong reputation for translating educational research into practical classroom application. These regular one-hour PD sessions offer New Zealand educators a consistent, manageable commitment that fits alongside teaching responsibilities — providing ongoing professional learning without the disruption of full-day workshops. The programme is delivered online, making it accessible to educators across New Zealand regardless of location. For teachers seeking sustained professional development that builds knowledge incrementally over time rather than through one-off events, this series represents an excellent opportunity to engage with university-level expertise in a practical, classroom-focused format. Visit the University of Waikato website for full session details, topics, and registration information.
