Emina McLean will assist teachers to develop their understanding of ways to plan for and explicitly teach subject vocabulary, build reading fluency across the curriculum, and also provide scaffolds for accountable independent reading tasks.

Program Description

All teachers want their students to be effective learners; In order to achieve this, our senior secondary students must be effective readers.

This professional learning day is designed to upskill senior secondary teachers with ways to support their students to access the rich, challenging texts taught across the TASC and VET curricula.

Emina McLean will assist teachers to develop their understanding of ways to plan for and explicitly teach subject vocabulary, build reading fluency across the curriculum, and also provide scaffolds for accountable independent reading tasks.

Teachers will develop a deeper understanding of text complexity in their subject areas, and ways to tailor the reading tasks to match text complexity and student knowledge and skills.

Emina will also guide teachers through documenting their planning for reading in their subjects, and through reflective practices to assess the impact of these changes on teaching and learning.
