Paper Diary
Presented by ETAQ
The Paper Diary is a year-long opt-in support program for early career English teachers, teachers new to the English space or teachers wanting to invigorate their planning and organisational practice.
Attendees will register for a term at a time. The registration fee for each term will be $20. Sessions will be recorded; if you register you will get a link to the recording, so you will never need to miss out on a session.
90 min preferably in the morning
