WATESOL
I have been a member of the Westralian Association for Teachers to Speakers of Other Languages since 2009. During this time, I have worked as a general committee member, the President, the WA representative for the Australian Council of TESOL Associations (ACTA), and was part of the organising committee for the 2016 ACTA International Conference, held in Perth.
ACTA
I have been involved with ACTA since 2007. Initially their TESOL in Context officer, I became a state representative in 2009 and was involved in the creation of the EAL/D elaborations on the AITSL teacher standards (endorsed by AITSL). Through ACARA and ACTA, I organised three of the EAL/D Illustrations of Practice to be filmed in Perth. These are currently displayed on the AITSL website.
The Kate Mullin Association
I have been involved in the Association since the inception of the Teacher Award (2013) which recognises best practice in Literacy education for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students in Western Australia. Initially on the selection committee for this award, I became an independent party, representing the Association and now coordinate the selection panel for this prestigious award.
