Supporting at-risk and hard-to-reach learners
​
Let’s hit the ground running in Term 1 with an action plan to get outcomes and accelerate achievement for these learners.
​
Would you like to:
​
-
understand why some learners continue to underachieve despite intervention?
-
know structured literacy approaches that help these students build literacy skills to read, write, and spell successfully?
-
learn about literacy assessment to give data for targeted intervention?
-
understand how to meet the needs of students with dyslexia, dyspraxia, ADHD, auditory and visual processing difficulties, and other learning differences?
​
If you answered yes to any or all of these questions, this workshop is for you.
Led by Jenny Tebbutt, a specialist educator and international educational
consultant with 25 years of experience.
Jenny is also an approved structured literacy facilitator, working with Spectrum Education.
