Frequently asked questions
Are the modules accredited?

| Module 1 | Module 2 | Module 3 | Module 4 |
NESA accredited hours | 5.5 hours (additional hours logged as elective PD) | 5 hours (additional hours logged as elective PD) | 5 hours (additional hours logged as elective PD) | 3.5 hours (additional hours logged as elective PD) |

Can I start at any time?
Effective Instruction in Reading and Spelling modules are designed for a cohort of students to move through together, so there is a set start and end date for each. There will be two intakes in 2024 (June and September) so each module will be offered twice.
What happens if I am unable to complete the courses in the set timeframe?
Participants will continue to have access to the modules (videos and content) for a year from the advertised starting date, but moderation will cease after the closing date.
What format do the modules take?
There is a reading to be completed prior to each topic. Topics within a module are typically broken into several short video presentations followed by interactive activities that offer the opportunity to apply and test your understanding of the content addressed. In addition, there are embedded opportunities to discuss content and exchange ideas with other participants and course facilitators.
Are the modules just theory, or is there an opportunity for practical application of the content?
The modules provide an understanding of underlying theory, but there is a focus on practical application of the content in the classroom. Videos are used to support the presentations and practical exercises are embedded in the modules to allow practice and development of skills. You can also use the comment facility to pose questions and exchange ideas.
How much time do I need to allocate to complete each module?
Each module consists of three or four topics. The time taken to complete each topic will vary from individual to individual and across topics. Including the required readings and online content, an approximate estimate of the time involved would be 2–3 hours per topic.
Do I have to do the modules in order?
Yes. The entire course of four modules is designed to be done in sequence. However, you do not need to complete all modules without a break. For example, you might complete Modules 1 and 2 in the first intake and delay modules 3 and 4 until the next intake.
