(1)-(4) Professional learning in foetal alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD) conducted by the Department of Education commenced in 2009. This professional learning has focussed primarily on raising awareness of FASD.
Professional learning undertaken by school staff about FASD is often initiated by individual school principals. The Department does not maintain centralised records of professional learning arranged and conducted at the local level.
From 2009-2011, an awareness raising session of 35-40 minutes on FASD was included in the professional learning sessions for the Indigenous Tutorial Assistance Scheme. Education staff who attended these sessions included teachers, administrators, Aboriginal and Islander Education Officers and Education Assistants.
Teachers who have students who require additional support, such as students with FASD, can seek information and advice through the Visiting Teacher Program managed by the Department's School of Special Education Needs: Disability.
Training was delivered by three consultants from the Department of Education. Data available centrally for this program is as follows:
