Teacher Taster

NEW INITIATIVE: Philosophy for Children Teacher Taster

Experience what it feels like to be a participant in a Community of Inquiry.  As teachers, we don't often get the chance to authentically express our beliefs (at least not in the classroom), so this is a chance to philosophise with your peers, enhance your skills in forming a community, and develop your critical thinking with each other.  

Each of our taster sessions will be held in a public venue and will explore big ideas in a selection of artefacts, such as a work of art at the National Gallery Victoria.

 

 

These teacher tasters will be facilitated by experienced P4C and Community of Inquiry practitioners.  

 

2027 DATES:  

 

  • TBC

 

Location:  Tasters will be held at the NGV - Australia, Federation Square.  Once registered, you will receive further information about the location at the venue.

 

These events are an opportunity to gain an understanding of what a P4C session looks like, ask a practitioner questions and explore the possibility of continuing and completing the VAPS Introduction to Community of Inquiry Course (offered twice in 2027 - go to Teacher Training 2027 page for more details).
