This course uses Visual and Hands-On resources to explore and overcome
some of the challenges students face in their journey towards becoming
literate. Setting Your Students Up For Success is based loosely on my successful Literacy Games PD workshop for CRTs. This one focuses more on the core concepts of hands-on learning and how to use them to engage, motivate and educate your students!
Common reasons for disengagement from Literacy.
The relationship between engagement and behaviour management.
Engaging and hands-on resources to support writing skills.
Hands on and visual learning in english language word structure.
Hands-on and visual strategies for prompting during writing tasks
This PD is not only to help us inderstand hands-on literacy in our classrooms but also how to understand how to pick engaging and effective resources and activities for our CRT "bag of tricks". Venue: Online Delivery (through OpenLearning.com). Date: Now available and "always on"! Host Company: ClassCover's Relief Teacher Association. Cost: $20.00 (AUD) Duration: 1.5 hours.
Approx 40 minutes of presenter delivered video.
Approx 10 minutes of additional video from other sources.
Approx 40 minutes of activities.
Collaboration is part of the intentions of this course and is not included in the duration! Please remember to add the appropriate time to your submission to VIT for registration renewal. We'd also add that the collaborative nature of these PD is an excellent way to reinforce and expand on the learning provided!
All proceeds from the creation of this course and ongoing payments are going directly into funding CRT Network activities (Wodonga and Shepparton).

"A
Professional Learning program for generalist primary classroom teachers
offering them support, confidence, skills and resources to sing more
regularly with their students."
“Music education uniquely contributes to the emotional, physical, social and cognitive growth of all students.” National Review of School Music Education, Australia, 2005
Imagine a school day where singing is an integral part of the program –
not an add-on or an extra activity, but integrated into the existing
daily program. aMuse is pleased to launch this exciting new program in
2012 aimed at providing generalist primary teachers with the skills and
resources to build the confidence needed to sing regularly with their
students!
“The key with meaningful music learning, is that it
has to be ‘continuous, sequential and developmental’ for students to
benefit. We know, for example, that as few as 23% of government schools
are able to offer their students a music education which fits that bill -
they would like to, but they lack the resources. In private schools,
the number leaps up to 88%.”
This PD will be held in the Wodonga South Primary School Music room. As usual it will be a catered workshop. As this is a self-funded PD we have had to bump the price of the booking fee
(sorry!) to $15 for CRTs and $40 for other teaching professionals. Bookings will
be opened first to CRTs and to other teaching professionals at a later
date. Date: Sat 16 May 2015. Max attendance: 40 Bookings open: Mon 6 Apr (CRTs - other teaching professionals will open at a later date if places remain). Full details will be released shortly before booking opens! Melinda Lichnovsky-Klock Wodonga CRT Support Network Coordinator.
