PD Programs

The AGTV Committee and Networks organise PD for teachers of German. Link to AGTV Calendar of professional development* CLICK HERE.

The AGTV convenes 12 German Teacher Networks throughout Victoria. These Networks organise professional development* in response to local needs. AGTV Network Leaders also distribute and share information electronically from the network, AGTV Committee and the Goethe-Institut’s national electronic network. Contact your local Network Leader to find out about or request PD for the specific network.
