These are common challenges and require a whole school response.

SPELD NSW Insights Webinars for School Leaders 

The Insights Webinars are a series focused on what schools and teachers need in the classroom. New topics are regularly released. These webinars are perfect for helping you build your professional learning plans, leadership workshops, and individual learning. Topics areas include:

  • How to effectively use data to inform practice and resourcing
  • How to build explicit instruction routines
  • How to build multi-tiered support in schools             

A Structured Approach to Reading and Spelling in your School

  • Hours of embedded teacher professional videos for ‘just-in-time’ learning that supports teachers with their own content knowledge, differentiation and ascaffolding tips.
  • The program is built on a carefully designed scope and sequence that integrates phonics, spelling, and morphology instruction together with extensive opportunities for spaced retrieval practice throughout the program.
  • The program includes information on how to include targeted in-class intervention and is designed to be used concurrently by learning support teams and specialists in intervention settings. 
  • The use of low-variance student activities means that maximum instructional and learning time is focused on content and skills! 
  • Explicit instruction that is implemented live by the teacher on a whiteboard, not via slides: Interactive and engaging learning that students and teachers love!
