Professional development

All casual academics (in and beyond the School of the Environment) are welcome to attend a development session and connect over afternoon tea.

Data are Fun!? (The Prequel) is specifically for middle school science teachers who are new to science, teaching out-of-field, or experienced teachers who would benefit from foundational introduction to data analysis, interpretation, graphical representation and scientific writing genre conventions. It is delivered live online (via Zoom) and recorded. All registrants will receive resources and recordings that can be accessed indefinitely.

Invited lead biology teachers and science department heads from schools in the Lockyer Valley, Toowoomba, and surrounds attend an exclusive professional development opportunity at Hidden Vale Research Station.

Ecology Extravaganza Vol. 2 focusses on new and more explicit subject matter and statistical analyses introduced in the 2025 Senior Biology syllabus. It is delivered live online (via Zoom) and recorded. All registrants will receive resources and recordings that can be accessed indefinitely.
