Professional Judgment in VET Forums - August 2005

Reframing the Future facilitated a series of forums in mid-August 2005 on making effective professional judgments about complex issues in teaching, learning and assessment in the training package environment. The Forums were repeated at the New Ways of Working in VET Forum 2 in November 2005.

Approximately 270 VET practitioners from around Australia, participated in forums in Townsville, Newcastle, Perth, Melbourne and Adelaide.
