Re-Thinking Literacy: What the Science of Reading Means for Every Classroom
Mon 16 March
Our next professional learning session focuses on a topic that is dominating education right now: the Science of Reading and in particular, comprehension.
This session will support you to understand what the Science of Reading is, what lessons it has for all teachers and how we can best use the research to improve learning for all our students.
WORKSHOP (online)

How Designing Units for Cognitive Load Supports Every Learner, Without Differentiating
This session is built around the L4L planning principle “teach less, teach depth.”
We explore the science behind why this works and how ideas from Cognitive Load Theory can guide smarter planning decisions, so learning builds, endures, and is more accessible for students who find learning challenging.
