Alumni Newsletter- Term 4
Welcome back to school for Term 4. It will be a busy term for everyone as we move into warmer weather and the summer break.
We had a busy Term 3 here at Teach Well!
Participants in our High-Impact Teaching Practices Toolkit Series graduated in Canberra, including a group of school leaders who completed a dedicated Lead Group.
Our dedicated cohort of Literacy Leaders from Melbourne Archdiosese of Catholic Schools Continued their enthusiastic participation.
In Geraldton, our team delivered Masterclass Series workshops to two groups of dedicated teachers across K-2 and Years 3-10. We also continued our work with incredible teachers, leaders and classroom assistants in Geraldton, Mount Magnet and Kalgoorlie as part of the Scaling Up Success project, in collaboration with the WA Department of Education to support student literacy in regional WA.
We are looking forward to a busy Term 4!
Our next Alumni Webinar Using Elastik to Create Longer Cadence Reviews will be held with Elastik on October 22 at 3:30pm AWST. Registrations for this event are open to all Teach Well alumni, as well as to your colleagues and broader networks. Registrations are limited, so register now to hold your place.
We are also delighted to announce that registrations for our 2025 courses are now open! Teach Well will be continuing our work here in WA, with the Masterclass Series in High-Impact Instruction for educators from Kindy – Year 2, and dedicated Year 3-10 Cohorts, starting in Term 1 and Term 2, 2025.
Next year, for the first time, you can join the Masterclass from anywhere in Australia. Teachers and leaders will be able to access an entirely online version of the Masterclass Series.
Our leaders’ program, the Instructional Lead Fellowship, will also start in Term 1. This course is crafted for leaders, and is a great next-step for graduates of the Masterclass Series.
Please keep in touch and keep us updated on your brilliant work.
Best wishes,
The Teach Well Team
