This inaugural Professional Learning day, presented by FoodEdu includes in-depth and interactive sessions from the NSW Food Authority (NSWFA), and the Department of Primary Industries (DPI).  It will be held in conjunction with the Professional Teachers’ Council NSW and member teaching organisations: the Technology Educators’ Association (TEA) and the Home Economics Institute of Australia (HEIA NSW).

The program will include real world insights into the food industry, innovation in food technology and of food safety, supported by experiments, and case-studies that can be used to inspire students.

Program highlights

  • The NSW Food Authority will deliver an interactive “Practical Risk Assessment” session.
    This activity will focus on learning how to identify high risk foods and to increase understanding of food safety implications during food preparation to mitigate foodborne illness.
  • In the NSW DPI Schools Programs session, we will introduce and guide you through the use of three new resources developed for the 2019 Technology Mandatory syllabus.  During this session, we will also introduce you to the NESA program builder and guide you to develop your own Technology Mandatory Program for next year (see following page for available resources).
  • Enhance your teaching with insights and explanations from industry expert food technologists:
    –     Industrial food preparation – types of processing
    –     Physical and nutritive effects of processing at home and at industrial scale
