@Doug_Lemov Hi @Doug_Lemov. We would love to host you in Sydney and organise a Professional learning day with you.

[patrick ellis @ellis_patrick]

@TeachWellAus Congrats Sue - great addition!

[Pamela Snow @PCSnow1604]

This February, I’ll be collaborating with @AmplifyInc to support educators across Sydney, Melbourne, and Brisbane as we dive deep into the research behind how young students learn to read and, more importantly, how that evidence translates into everyday teaching decisions.

Following my keynote, the Amplify team will lead a hands-on session focused on explicit, systematic instructional approaches to ensure every learner gets the support they need.

If evidence-based reading instruction is a priority in your work, I’d love for you to join us!

These events are free to attend, but places are limited. Register here: https://t.co/YbeHccH9eQ
