Lunch Break, Learn & Create Resources

GCSN has worked alongside CORE Education and Cyclone to design and deliver a series of short digital PLD clips and accompanying slide decks which you can engage with during your lunch break. We are proud to share with you - Lunch Break, Learn & Create - a series of digital fluency, professional learning and development resources for educators.
