Sarah Pavy Education
& VET Consultant Qualifications: B.A. (French, Indonesian and German), Dip.Ed. (LOTE / TESOL), M.Ed., Grad. Cert in Bilingual/Immersion Education, Dip.
Spanish as a Second Language - Intermediate Level (Instituto Cervantes,
Madrid), Cert. IV in Training and Assessment Sarah Pavy is a secondary teacher of languages (mainly French) with a passion for engaging and motivating students in their language studies. She also has a strong interest in boys’ education and has been researching in this field for the past six years. In 2006 she completed a Masters of Education, focusing on the role of the teacher in motivating boys in language learning. Over the past four years, Sarah has presented at numerous conferences on the topic of engaging boys in language learning. As a language teacher, she has worked with students from Years 7 to 12, and has been involved in both oral and written examinations for VCE French over the past several years. From 2002 to 2006 Sarah was Head of the LOTE Faculty at Trinity Grammar School. During that time, she introduced the Certificate II in Applied Language as part of the Year 9 and 10 LOTE curriculum. Inspired by the noticeable increase in enjoyment and fluency of students in her classes undertaking the Certificate, Sarah is keen to help other schools to offer this qualification to its students. One of her areas of focus over the past two years has been the possibilities that the Certificate II and III in Applied Languages offer, and how individual schools might go about incorporating these nationally recognised qualifications into their current programmes. From Sarah’s perspective, the benefits for students in completing a Certificate in Applied Languages are numerous, including greater enjoyment in their learning experiences, an increased capacity in the second language, enhanced chances of success and greater options in the workplace, as well as direct advantages within the VCE system (Students completing units from the Certificates II in Applied Languages may also gain credits to the VCE and, where student complete units from the Certificate III, a 10% increment towards their ENTER score). Sarah is an educational consultant with a passion for classroom teaching and a constant desire to improve and enhance the teaching and learning experience in language classrooms. She enjoys being directly involved with students and teachers and aims to provide practical and useful ideas that teachers can apply immediately and successfully in their lessons. Her general areas of interest are: boys’ education, vocational language learning, behaviour management, motivation, teacher-student rapport, development of content-based language resources, partial-immersion language teaching. Vocational Pathways innovation
through initiative… Vocational
Pathways was established in 1994 in response to an increasing need for education
and training consultancy support in secondary schools and training
organisations. Education and training providers have been under increasing
pressure to develop and implement training programs designed to meet the
needs, aptitudes and interests of their client cohort. Whilst the range of
programs available is continuously expanding, the ability of providers to be
able to research and determine the relevance of such programs for their
clients, developing implementation strategies and conducting regular reviews
and evaluations have been limited by a lack of resources, especially
"time". Our company
clientele extends to over one hundred and fifty schools and training
providers in Victoria, South Australia and Queensland. The services we are
providing include: * industry leading, and nationally
recognised training in marketing, time management,
emotional intelligence and business leadership/management * briefings on vocational
education and training in schools * developing and documenting
strategic and business plans * developing and documenting
quality systems * conducting AQTF compliance
review audits * careers systems, diagnostic
testing and careers profiling * developing programs based
on VET in the VCE block credit arrangements * Certificate IV in Training
and Assessment - RPL and Course Delivery * careers and vocational
counselling * sales and marketing
courses Vocational
Pathways is able to provide update briefings for management, faculties and
teaching staff in the fields of vocational education and training, careers
counselling systems, as well as information technology training and
certification courses. The briefings could encompass program information,
implementation strategies, identifying and addressing curriculum and
timetabling issues, but most importantly, the briefing would be tailored to
address the specific issues, questions and requirements of the individual
client. Education and
training organisations often rely on conferences, forums and education
department updates. Unfortunately, the information presented at these
sessions is usually very general and fails to take into account the needs and
circumstances of the individual schools. Though education and training
organisations tend to have much in common, it is quite clear that they are
very unique in their processes for investigating, developing and implementing
innovative programs for students. We recognise the individuality of
organisations and ensure that all support and services are tailored to meet
the specific need and requirements of our clients. |
