Designing Learning for English 7-12 – Webinar Series

An effective English classroom is one where all students are engaged in learning that they find personally relevant and challenging. They are at the centre, have agency in terms of their own learning, pursue it independently as well as collaboratively, and have clear ideas about how their immediate tasks relate to the big ideas of English and other disciplines. A pipe dream? Not at all. Find out teaching approaches and strategies that build a culture of engagement in your classroom

Series commences: Wednesday 5 June and concludes Monday 5 August 2019
