Stepping Out
Teacher Courses
These hands-on, two-day courses equip teachers with processes
and strategies to support students as they tackle the literacy
demands of all learning areas. Stepping Out focuses on
improving pedagogy for all students, including those “at risk” at
both ends of the academic spectrum, and indigenous students. Teachers
experience a diverse range of strategies in order to develop and
extend key understandings about learning

effective in-class and faculty support. Participants at this course
focus on long-term, whole school and/or subject area planning for
