Reframing the Future facilitated a series of forums in mid-August 2005 on making effective professional judgments about complex issues in teaching, learning and assessment in the training package environment. The Forums were repeated at the New Ways of Working in VET Forum 2 in November 2005.

Approximately 270 VET practitioners from around Australia, participated in forums in Townsville, Newcastle, Perth, Melbourne and Adelaide.

The resources used for the forums are available below. These resources may be used by VET organisations or individuals to design professional development activities on the topic of professional judgment in VET.
