Let's Get Started...

Organising our room, resources and routines to ensure students in your new class become effective readers & writers

Friday 27 March 2009 9am–3pm

This course will encourage participants to turn theory learned while at university into practical and effective "What can I do on Monday?" routines. It will help beginning teachers design successful, purposeful, focused integrated units of work, which are rich in reading and writing tasks. It will also encourage beginning teachers to share ideas and to 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.
