Let’s Talk!
This is a series of online courses focusing on Literacy. Each course is a separate registered course through NESA.
Overview
The objectives for the courses are that teachers will:
- Understand the research that underpins the development of students’ understanding of aspects of literacy
- Gain knowledge of effective teaching strategies to support literacy achievement
- Reflect on questions posed within the videos relating to aspects of literacy
The 5 online courses in this series are:
- Talking about learning
- Vocabulary
- Learning to write
- Essential grammar
- Paragraphs
What's involved?
For each course there is a pre-reading task. Participants will need to complete the reading and also complete a short couple of question about the reading as part of the accreditation. The pre-reading task and questions contributes 1 hour of the 2 hours for the course.
Participants then view a series of videos (lessons) and respond to open ended reflection questions throughout the course. Viewing the videos and responding to the questions will contribute to 1 hour of the 2 hour course.
As each course is broken into sections (lessons), as you complete a section, this information will be saved so that you can logout and log back in to complete the task at a time that suits you.
Information regarding login details and access to the course/s through our learning management system (Heroica) will be emailed to all participants once they have purchased a course.
