New South Wales Seminars
With the growing focus on measurable progress, it is becoming even more important to have real, useful data to see how classrooms in your school are tracking. But how is it possible to actually get meaningful data regarding how students are performing in your school?
PLD offers evidence-based Australian phonics for primary educators, spanning junior to upper primary, promoting a whole-school approach. Their seminar covers explicit phonics instruction, decoding, spelling, and efficient performance tracking for targeted teaching.
This seminar aims to provide an outline of PLD’s implementation within a school from Foundation (Prep) to Year 6.
- The seminar starts with pre-literacy teaching recommendations for Foundation (Prep) year.
- Discusses students entering Year 1 and 2 with pre-literacy skills.
