This one-day workshop will assist teachers in responding to the Australian Curriculum’s EAL/D Progression and supporting materials as they plan for the engagement of EAL/D students within their classroom. Topics covered include:

• a general overview of language development in school-age students
• overview and use of the Australian Curriculum’s EAL/D Progression in determining language proficiency and monitoring language learning (with a focus on the Writing mode for the purposes of the session)
• use of the Australian Curriculum’s EAL/D resources to support planning for effective and inclusive practice.

Participants are requested to bring:

• two de-identified writing samples (the same task) reflecting a genre or writing task they would commonly teach. Where possible, the samples would be provided by EAL/D students, with one below standard and one at or above.  If teachers wish to bring a digital copy, please note that they must be able to annotate the piece of writing (e.g. consider if able to use a highlighting tool)
• a copy or draft of a lesson plan with a writing focus (paper or digital).

*Please note neither document will be shared with others in attendance unless participants do so voluntarily.

Target Group

Classroom teachers new to teaching or with minimal experience teaching EAL/D students.
