Get the most from your ECAWA Membership by staying in touch, getting involved and being ready to take advantage of the opportunities that interest you.

Above all …. participate!

.

Ensure that your association always has your up to date contact details.

Please be sure to keep your contact details up to date as  ECAWeb and email are our primary means of keeping ECAWA Members informed. We encourage you to make sure that both personal and a ‘work’ email address are on file with ECAWA as using two addresses increases the chances that the message will reach you.

.

Ensure that email from the ecawa.wa.edu domain is ‘trusted’ and does not end up in your spam filter.

Most ECAWA email will come from secretary@ecawa.wa.edu.au, president@ecawa.wa.edu.au or vicepresident@ecawa.wa.edu.au

If you are a GMail user you may need to check that ECAWA email is not being shunted into the ‘Promotional’ or ‘Social’ categories.

.

Check ECAWeb for announcements and information.

Information is posted on ECAWeb as it becomes available so keep an eye on ECAWeb and particularly https://ecawa.wa.edu.au/?page=1 where you will find the latest announcement at the top of the page.

Join a Special Interest Group

Over the years ECAWA has had a wide range of Special Interest Groups (SIGs) – Groups that have  formed around a particular interest, for discussion, research and investigation and Professional Learning.

If you have a particular interest contact secretary@ecawa.wa.edu.au to see if a group has formed or is forming in the area.

Get involved in ECAWA Professional Development and Professional Learning

An obvious benefit of your ECAWA membership is being able to attend PD / PL arranged by ECAWA. This is offered at no cost or at a reduced cost to ECAWA members.

Perhaps you might offer to make a presentation  or run a workshop to share your own knowledge and experience? After school PD usually runs from 4.15pm to 5.30pm, and may consist of a single presentation or two or more shorter presentations.

Check ECAWA communications to see what is being advertised, contact secretary@ecawa.wa.edu.au to enquire about future plans in your areas of interest or go to http://bit.ly/ECAWAPDOffer to make an offer to present.
