Teaching reading: A professional learning workshop series for beginning teachers

Are you a beginning teacher?

Join us to meet and learn alongside other early-career teachers.

This comprehensive series of workshops is practical and research based and will support you to plan a manageable and effective reading programme. It is suitable for New Zealand and Australian teachers in their first or second year of teaching and aligns with the New Zealand and Australian curriculums.

Learning will be differentiated at two levels:

Australian teachers: Foundation - Year 2 (juniors) and Years 3­–6 (seniors)

New Zealand teachers: New entrants­ - Year 3 (juniors) and Years 4–8 (seniors)

Format

The programme will run on the Zoom platform and consist of a combination of four live online workshops and three pre-recorded on-demand workshops over a period of 12 weeks. You will join Sheena and Louise for the live sessions that are available at two different times and watch the on demand workshops at your leisure. Live online workshops will provide opportunities to interact with Sheena and Louise and other teachers through breakout room discussions and the chat facility.

The programme will commence on Wednesday, 15 February 2023 and finish on Wednesday, 10 May 2023.

You will receive a downloadable learning log to document your learning and record your goals, reflections and actions. At the end of the programme, you will receive a certificate showing the hours of professional learning you have attended. This can be used as evidence for teacher registration.
