In this course, principals and leaders will consider how they can strategically design school improvement initiatives and guide their staff to implement practices that result in better student outcomes.
This two-day, in-person professional learning workshop is designed for principals, assistant and deputy principals, and aspiring leaders who wish to have a deeper understanding of the evidence base of the science of learning and the Science of Reading, and how to apply this knowledge to transform their school and positively impact student outcomes. It will support leaders to utilise their knowledge of the evidence base to develop school improvement plans and make strategic decisions to positively impact day-to-day instructional practices in classrooms.
As leaders progress through the workshop content, they will construct their own action plan as a parallel process. This will assist leaders to identify their next steps to catalyse school transformation, in response to analysis of their own school context.
Schools may find it most beneficial for principals along with members of their leadership team to attend the workshop together, as it enables collective learning and action planning. Discounts are available for multiple participants.
Leaders will be provided with relevant pre-readings prior to commencing the workshop and a copy of the new textbook Effective Instruction for Reading and Spelling (Wheldall, Wheldall & Buckingham, 2023), which is an accessible, up-to-date guide to evidence-informed practices in reading and spelling.
These resources provide targeted preparation and will also be used for further unpacking and analysis during workshop activities. They will also be useful for future reference and ongoing learning to support evidence-based decision-making.
