Workshops | Accredited Facilitators |
The accredited facilitators of Education Support Services offer targeted support to schools to address the literacy demands of the NZ Curriculum in all learning areas. Literacy support is evidence-based, comprehensive and designed to address reading, writing and oral language to support students to meet the language demands across the curriculum.
We support schools by:
- Providing professional development in literacy leadership across primary and secondary schools
- Collaborating with teachers to build pedagogical practice in literacy across the curriculum
- Developing capability in the use of effective literacy assessment practice and the use of relevant assessment tools
- Supporting teachers to inquire into the impact of their literacy practice
Facilitation may include:
- In-depth support for a team of teachers in a school, which includes regular visits to meet with focus teachers, observations, and wananga to share progress of target students
- Building literacy capability within learning areas
- Working with groups of schools and Kāhui Ako
- Sharing practices that support students to learn
- Reviewing current programmes and collaborating to design new learning experiences
- Building skills in data analysis and ways of using the data to improve literacy achievement, including the use of Learning Progression Frameworks in Reading and Writing
- Developing culturally responsive pedagogies and practices
- Tailoring a programme to meet the needs of individual teachers, school or cluster
