Course description
This three-part professional learning series is designed to deepen educators’ understanding of effective writing instruction and support its implementation across the curriculum. Led by Emina McLean, the series uses a spaced learning model to promote sustained engagement, reflection, and practical application.
Participants will explore evidence-informed approaches to teaching writing, with a focus on:
• Understanding the components of effective writing instruction
• Planning for explicit and systematic writing instruction
• Embedding writing opportunities meaningfully across learning areas
Each session builds on the last, allowing time for classroom application, collaborative discussion, and refinement of practice. This series is ideal for educators and leaders seeking to strengthen their knowledge and improve student outcomes.
Course outcomes
Participants will be able to:
• support their school to implement Quality Tier 1 instruction as part of structured literacy
