PDC85349 - Food Technology
Overview
This Food Technology Professional Development Workshop will provide you with some foundational practical skills to teach Years 7-10 Food Technology and Hospitality classes. During the 3 days, you will engage in a variety of cookery activities and learn how to make lesson adjustments for a diverse range of student abilities. The workshop aims to provide a practical hands-on experience where you will learn a range of techniques essential for teaching food skills. Regardless of your cookery experience, daily activities can be negotiated to either “teach you the basics” or extend your existing skills. You will learn strategies for managing a school-based kitchen environment and adhering to risk management, food safety practices and workplace health and safety policy.

Upon successful completion of the Professional Development Workshop, students will be awarded a Continuing Professional Development (CPD) hours Certificate of Completion.
A successful 21-hour Certificate of Completion will allow a student to RPL the 3-day Residential School for the EDVT11021 Food Technology unit, if they enrol in the CC10 Diploma of Secondary School Teaching. All other content and assessment will need to be completed.
Subject Area Specialisation Qualification:
Designed as a formal professional development opportunity, the Diploma of Secondary School Teaching (CC10) equips teachers with a new teaching area qualification and a thorough understanding of specialised pedagogical content knowledge and skills.
High-Risk Activity Compliance:
Out-of-field teachers in high-risk classrooms such as kitchens, sewing rooms, manual arts workshops and science labs in subjects such as Home Economics/Hospitality, Industrial Technology and Design, Design and Technologies (food and materials), Chemistry and HPE pose a risk to teacher and student safety. Specialised training and a formal qualification are desirable and recommended.
