NESA Conference Hours

Thinking Different Conference - NESA PD Hours

Completing Thinking Different: Supporting Neurological Difference Early Childhood Conference (and compulsory session Perspectives on Disability Reform) will contribute 8 hours of NSW Education Standards Authority (NESA) Accredited PD in the priority area of Delivery and Assessment of NSW Curriculum/EYLF addressing standard descriptors 1.6.2 from the Australian Professional Standards for Teachers towards maintaining Proficient Teacher Accreditation in NSW.

Teachers must participate in person for the whole course (conference) in order to receive Accredited PD hours. If a teacher is absent for any part of the course, the number of hours attended may be recorded as Elective PD.  

There is no capacity for gaining Accredited PD hours for watching a recording. If teachers chose to watch the recording of the conference, as per NESA’s policy, they may count it as Elective PD hours, and potentially count the whole 16 hrs of the conference as per PD requirements | NSW Education Standards.
