Workshops, courses and events
“I really enjoyed the guest speakers and their presentations, I found it valuable having speakers from places other than just New Zealand, I found it an enlightening experience and it answered a lot of my questions about different aspects of literacy.”
2024 Symposium Attendee
"I went in with so many questions and feeling like I wasn't sure how to teach writing using the new curriculum. I came away feeling confident with the workshop and resources knowing exactly how to plan and teach writing and share it with my colleagues."
Writing Workshop Participant
“I loved learning about how our brain learns to read and write, and how we aren’t wired for this from birth. It was a great 2 days and quite interactive which kept it interesting.”
