#2014ViSC

At the end of each year, Binnacle has always hosted its annual Binnacle VET in Schools Conference or #2014ViSC (formally known as the Resource Induction).

This year's keynote speaker will be Laurie Kelly from Mindworks, who will speak about the counter balancing biological/cognitive aspect of teaching, to compliment the technological teaching tools that Tony Ryan spoke of last year.

Laurie has been opening up the mysteries of the mind to audiences from all walks of life for over 20 years. From corporate groups to school students, Laurie has an uncanny ability to communicate on a level that everyone can appreciate. He is just as comfortable in a room full of senior managers as he is with a group of front line staff.

Laurie uses his detailed understanding of how the mind works to present informative, entertaining Keynote Addresses and highly effective workshops on topics such as:

  • Maximising your training & teaching impacts
  • Flexing the mental muscle for personal & business success
  • Dealing with information overload
  • Presentation skills
  • Exciting students to learn
  • Sparking creative thoughts
  • Stress Hardiness
  • Coping with change
  • Getting the most out of your mind

A very exciting (and excitable) presenter to watch and guaranteed moments of "Is that why they do that!" and "I'll defiantly try that next time I see that thinking cue".

This year we are increasing the number of breakout sessions and the topics covered, these will include.

  • Nutrition: What your student should and shouldn't know
  • Marketing: How to maximise a micro-business
  • VET in Schools: How Binnacles innovations will make VET easier in your school
  • FitLink: Resistance v Body Weight training - how to get the best of both worlds
  • And much more

The Binnacle VET in Schools Conference is an important part of keeping your Staff Profile up-to-date, a compliance measure for teaching a VET subject in schools. Binnacle does understand the burden this can place on schools - one of the key reasons we're looking to bring you quality content to take away - not to mention, presented FREE as part of your program fee.
