Using systems of support in literacy instruction and intervention

This unit builds on your knowledge of systems of support for students with additional needs, by exploring the application of this approach to literacy instruction, intervention and assessment with a specific focus on reading. The unit explores the components of reading instruction and effective pedagogies as well as good practice for collecting data. The unit will focus on evidence-based practices, for teaching and assessing reading, for learners with disabilities. In the unit you will learn to collect and analyse data on literacy progress in order to identify students in need of more intensive intervention, and to evaluate the progress of students who have received intervention. You will also learn key skills for collaborating with students, families, educators and clinicians to support effective educational planning for students with disabilities.
