AGM 2023
Dear members,
You are invited to attend the CLTAQ Annual General Meeting being held
at: Indooroopilly State High Q Block
101 Ward Street, Indooroopilly, Qld 4006
on: Saturday 18 March 2023 from 2 to 4pm
Agenda
2.00-3.00pm AGM
After the AGM, we will discuss CLTAQ 2023 activities:
Following on from Margot’s session, I tried out a couple of very simple language games and surprise, they worked beautifully. I know that many others have done the same. Can I suggest that our AGM PD focus on “Simple language games that work.” You might not want to share all your tricks and games but if everyone can come prepared to share some simple games with whatever resources you need, that would be wonderful.
We will actually play the games as our class does so that we can get a feel for how it all comes together.
Look forward to seeing you all there!
Registration is a must (register below). Snacks and water will be provided.
Cheers,
Dr Hui Richards
President of Chinese Language Teachers’ Association of Queensland

1. Each teacher should bring their course overviews/unit plans or whatever paperwork you use for all of the units of work you cover in your P-10 course.

4. Each group highlight/make notes of things that we need to cover as specific PD for the future (bearing in mind that we do not really know what PD QSA will have up their sleeve.)
This might also be useful information for Confucius Institute and QSA for PD directions.
5. Each group highlight/make notes of additional resources that we will need to implement certain aspects of the NC.
6. In the last 30 minutes we have a collective discussion about what has been identified etc.
Please let me know if you are going to attend and what year level or particular document you would like to focus on.
