Practical ideas for new and beginning teachers.

This course will help participants design successful, purposeful, focused integrated units of work; and will encourage them to share ideas and ask questions of each other as they begin to develop their own collegiate networks. Participants will:

  • identify critical ingredients in successful literacy programs
  • show how reading and writing can be developed within each of the key learning areas
  • design workable routines that incorporate modelled, shared, guided and independent learning opportunities for students
  • identify classroom equipment and wall displays that support students’ literacy development
  • program integrated units of work which focus on literacy development.
