"The presenters were very professional and engaging. They enhanced my knowledge, confidence and skills to inspire my students to do the best they can in this subject.

"The guest speakers were informative and passionate about their work. They shared valuable insights and real world application and strategies. As always, Kelly's passion and knowledge shone through. I really appreciated the sharing of resources and ideas. Usually PD's tend to be overwhelming with information that, realistically, does not translate into classroom application. This one was different; we had time to think and assess the information. The guests shared activities that are user friendly and will enhance student understanding of core ideas. Looking forward to the next one."

Your Host: Kelly Bell

My teaching journey included Community & Family Studies since 2004, growing the course from about 15 students to over 60 students in a small all-girls school and then spending 2.5 years teaching CAFS at a senior high school.

Teaching CAFS early on it was just me, the syllabus and a textbook!
I had NO IDEA what I was doing. TRUST ME.

Early on I realised that CAFS teachers needed (and wanted) even more support and as a result I did all I could to share my love. This looked like co-authoring two textbooks, presenting numerous study sessions and mentoring teachers at professional development days and conferences.

As I grew as a leader in CAFS, I became so passionate about helping CAFS teachers and would daydream about doing this fulltime. THIS BECAME A REALITY.

Since starting The Learning Network in July 2020 Kelly has supported over 1000 CAFS teachers across NSW in online courses, resources, coaching & mentoring and over 80 teachers in her CAFS membership. Kelly has worked with over 1000 CAFS students in her Year 11 & 12 CAFS MasterClasses. 

If you are ready to take your CAFS Crew to the next level without impacting your sleep and wellbeing in the process, you’re in the right place. 

I can't wait to see your smiling face in real life!
