Centre for Educational Leadership and Renewal
Faculty of Arts and Education
Deakin University, in conjunction with Murdoch University and the Australian Association for Teachers of English, conducted the Australian Government Summer School for Teachers of English at the Waterfront Campus.
Two hundred primary and secondary teachers of English participated in the two week Summer School in January 2008. The summer school was organised around key questions facing contemporary English curriculum, and included modules on Leading Change, Literature and the canon in the 21st Century, Multiliteracies Multimodality and Design, Children's and Young Adult Literature, and Commonality and Assessment. The extension program includes a web-based forum for the discussion of projects developed by the teachers following up the summer school back in their schools and classrooms, support for participating teachers to present at State and National conferences, and the option of connecting into Masters programs.
We are very proud to announce that Deakin University's Centre for Educational Leadership and Renewal has been chosen as the provider for the Australian Government Summer School for Teachers of English, with partners Murdoch University's Centre for Learning, Change and Development and the Australian Association of Teachers of English (AATE).
The summer school commences in January 2008 and will provide many benefits
for participants.
