Literacy Leadership Research Project (EDUC90682)

Participants in the subject will work with their school to identify a major issue related to literacy facing their school or their local network, and then investigate the issue in the professional and academic literature, plan a strategy or intervention, implement it, and evaluate the outcomes. Participants will draw on the knowledge acquired in the other subjects to explore the literacy issue they are working on, including drawing on the work in the leadership subject to work with other members of the school or network in implementing their strategy or intervention. Each participant will be assigned to a group of course participants who are investigating a similar topic for support and sharing of resources and experiences. Each of these groups will be led by an academic who will be the supervisor of the projects being undertaken within the group.
