For more than 20 years, IMSLE has partnered with schools to build teacher capability and improve literacy outcomes through evidence-based language and literacy instruction. Our professional learning equips educators to confidently translate and bridge aligned research from multi-disciplnary feilds into practice. Participants leave with a strong emphasis on knowing how to identify, teach and assist dyslexia and other diverse learning profiles. Participants will know how to identify students' individual language and literacy needs, how to plan, target and tailor instruction to support all learners, and the value of diagnostic teaching & formative assessment. Through practical application, guided mentoring, and ongoing implementation support, teachers develop the knowledge, skills and confidence to deliver effective SLA instruction across a range of educational settings.
IMSLE Training is designed to strengthen both teacher expertise and whole-school literacy capability.
