What yOu’Ve tOlD us in 2016:

Throughout 2016 ACHPER Victoria collected feedback from more than 1000 teachers who attended our professional learning events. We asked one question: What is your greatest challenge as a teacher of HPE?

here’s what we discovered about you: • YoudoanamazingjobdeliveringhighqualityHPE

with the time restrictions you have. Prioritising becomesakeyskillasdoestimemanagementwhendealing with the challenge of delivering a large amount of content in limited time.
