The Education Council under the ‘Professional Standards for Teachers’ encourages becoming members of relevant associations as an important part of professional development. Becoming a member of CATA is a great way to network with colleagues; you can learn new techniques, share resources as well as discuss current pedagogy and practice. It is also a good way to locate specialist relievers or to offer your services as one. CATA meetings and workshops are held during the year at a variety of education, industry and community venues.
