disciplinary literacy

Audience – Key stages 3, 4 and 5
Time - 3 hours approximately

Explore what the research tells us, define disciplinary literacy, and what this looks like in a range of subjects when teaching.

Based on the findings of the EEF guidance report into the benefits of teaching disciplinary literacy at secondary school. For many of our disadvantaged students, this approach is invaluable to supporting understanding of text in other subjects.

‘Inspiring and interesting! Moving from a different school and authority this was also very useful to see NT schools approaches to English. Janice and Eve are very knowledgeable trainers, who delivered in an interesting and interactive way. Looking forward to the next session!’
