The ARIS Professional Development Program is offering the option of up to four days of workshops to help teachers ‘come to grips’ with the changes and expanded possibilities of the CGEA.

This will be a valuable opportunity for teachers to have an intensive experience of working across the streams of the CGEA and develop a deeper understanding of the theoretical basis of the document.

Combinations of workshops are available.
