Course certificate

Participants who successfully complete course expectations will receive a certificate.

To receive the certificate, participants will be required to:

• work with students to improve literacy levels
• keep a record of classroom literacy teaching and learning activities related to the course content
• reflect on student literacy learning, and teacher professional learning
• attend a one-day professional learning workshop
• participate regularly in online collegial discussion
• complete a course learning portfolio.

At the conclusion of the course, participants will be required to submit a learning portfolio containing details of the course work they have undertaken.

The portfolio may be paper based, or submitted electronically.

Assembling the portfolio will not be an onerous task if it is done incrementally as the course unfolds.

As data is collected from course work during each module (assessment information, teacher planning and programming), file it in a folder with plastic leaves, or in a specially designated file in the computer. At the end of the course, it will then only be a matter of reviewing and labelling the work before it is submitted for evaluation and certification.

More details about preparing the course portfolio will be available at the course workshops.

The Course Timeline (PDF 30KB) indicates the due date for submission of course portfolios.

The completed course portfolio should be mailed to:

Course Co-ordinator
Curriculum K-12 Directorate
Private Bag 3
RYDE NSW 2112

Electronic portfolios should be emailed to the course co-ordinator.

The portfolios should reach the Curriculum Directorate within three weeks of the course conclusion. If that poses a problem the course coordinator should be informed as soon as possible.
