Jan28

Welcome to the registration page for the Yarra Valley's first Network Conference. To be held on Thursday January 28th 2010.The theme for this conference will be.

=WRITING-A NETWORK PRIORITY; WRITING ACROSS THE DOMAINS=

Current research and our own Yarra Valley data indicates that students need to be explicitly taught the specifics of writing the texts relevant to the domain they are working within. DEECD has also made it clear that "**//all teachers are teachers of literacy and need to teach explicitly the literacy demands of curriculum learning in all stages of schooling//**" (Paper No. 11 :2007)

This conference will address these issues froma practical perspective with the following four goals in mind.
 * 1) To understand the importance of teaching writing across the domains
 * 2) To develop a Network approach to writing
 * 3) To develop collaborative professional learning across the Network
 * 4) To develop tools and strategies for immediate use in the classroom

Alan Wright, a well respected consultant in this area will lead the day, whilst coaches will support workshop groups.

All principals, teachers and support staff working in classrooms are expected to attend the conference as part of the strategic plan for the Yarra Valley Network.
