New professional learning opportunities
Open now, with discounts for members. PETAA's 2022 sell-out conference focused on the journey of literacy from earliest communication and language development through to the early years of high school. These presentations will guide you through skills and strategies from a child's very first communication, to learning to read, transitioning through the primary years as students extend their skills and read in order to learn. This self-paced online conference comprises a series of presentations in three streams: Early Childhood and First years of formal schooling, Years 3-4 Years 5-6 and beyond.
Additional discounts for members. Join us online for the livestream, or in person in Melbourne, Victoria on October 20-21 2023! Together we will explore the importance of using a diverse range of quality literature to engage and inspire learners. Every session will explore the power of literature to connect learning across the English curriculum and beyond.
