In Person: Let's write an English unit with textual concepts

(IN PERSON New South Wales) Presented by Dr Lorraine Beveridge and Michael Murray, this practical course will show teachers how to write quality syllabus-based English units of work, utilising English Textual Concepts (ETCs), while still attending to the literacy and language needs of their students.  This course utilises the concept-based approach to program design. A seven-step process for developing quality units is adapted from the work of Wiggins and McTighe (2005, 2008).

 Who should participate?

  • Teachers K-6 
  • Year and stage coordinators
  • Teachers at all career stage                                        

Why participate? Participants in this course will:

  • engage in a range of activities designed to facilitate understanding of the concept-based approach and its links to the syllabus.
  • plan for a quality English unit that addresses the learning needs of their students, utilising a mind-mapping strategy that will be modelled in the course.
