In a time of great change for the primary education sector, it's more important than ever that every teacher at your school understands not just how they should be teaching English and literacy, but the why behind the models, practices, and pedagogies that really work. For one annual fee, PETAA connects teachers - or entire teaching and leadership staff under the school membership model - with curated resources, materials, and professional learning that simplify the how and clarify the why.
 
Get aligned with evidence-informed English and literacy instruction. Build the skills, confidence, and knowledge of your teaching community to transform student outcomes with explicit instructional practice. 

I can trust the quality of PETAA resources. As a leader, it is hard to make sure the resources they are getting from elsewhere are of quality but I can trust they are getting that from PETAA. Plus, PETAA saves real time by offering all kinds of bite size resources - and the tools to help you be good at something niche as well."

We absolutely loved using PETAA’s curriculum unit based on Runt by Craig Silvey in our classroom – it was so engaging that even our most reluctant readers got involved! Our school also loves PETAA’s Year of Texts and have implemented them in our K-6 classrooms because it means we know we’re teaching quality literature, and the detailed matching units of work are easy to adapt to our needs."
