Frequently asked questions
Our professional learning program is undertaking a review throughout 2025, with the aim of sharing an exciting suite of contemporary opportunities for 2026. As a result, some of our previous professional learning events will not be presented this year. The development of our 2025 professional learning program is well underway, with new opportunities for learning and networking added each month. Please continue to check our professional learning calendar webpage for new offerings that may be of interest to you and your colleagues.
Below, we have answered some of your questions around the review.
Why has there been a change in professional learning offerings?
We believe your membership fee should give you high quality and appropriate professional learning, throughout the year. Our professional learning program is one of our top priorities – that is why we have paused this year to examine the content and evaluate its potential for positive impact on our members. Much of our professional learning offerings have remained the same for many years. Feedback suggested there is a strong appetite for a broader range.
Is there going to be professional learning for experienced Principals?
We have scaled back several of our programs that needed to be redeveloped and we are actively working to add more. This will address the need for professional learning for experienced Principals. We appreciate your patience while this process takes place and hope you will engage with us as we improve and strengthen what we offer.
Are we going to hold more governance training?
Governance is a key area for our schools and needs qualified presenters delivering courses that are robust and legitimate in their advice. ISV is pursuing a new range of programs for governance that will enable our members to have confidence that the advice is of the right level, coming from appropriate qualified presenters and can provide certainty that our members are receiving advice that the regulator would approve. We appreciate your patience while we work on this and would be very happy to hear any specific recommendations.
How can I let ISV know what I'm looking for when it comes to professional learning?
ISV is focused on ensuring all professional learning is responsive to needs of all our Member Schools, has high impact and is fit it for purpose in terms of content and delivery. If you would like to share what you’re looking for in the professional learning space, you can reach out to us via enquiries@is.vic.edu.au.
