School-based Professional Learning

Did you know that PETAA can organise tailored professional learning just for your school or a community of schools?

PETAA consultants work with school leaders across Australia to design and provide relevant, targeted and evidence-based professional learning, in-person and online, to improve the teaching and learning of English, literacies, and language in primary classrooms and schools. We can provide assistance with planning and implementing effective literacy strategies, and support for diverse learners.
