As Literacy Co-ordinator, it is vital that we know where we want Literacy to go within our educational setting and plan for how to get there, as ‘there is no favourable wind for the sailor who doesn't know where to go’ (Seneca). The first part of this course supports Literacy Co-ordinators in exploring their vison, mission and aims, aligning them with the aims of their educational setting and creating a long-term policy and plan that will ensure there is a pathway to achieving these. By having a clear and articulate idea of how to promote Literacy, along with a roadmap of how to do so, Literacy Co-ordinators will find that getting the ‘buy-in’ and support from their colleagues to reach their destination will be a lot easier and collaborative.
In the second part, we will delve into the essential elements of an action plan, along with various strategies for monitoring and evaluating the Literacy initiatives that have been implemented. This will help inform future steps. We will review examples of best practice in these areas and assist Literacy Coordinators in understanding their responsibilities regarding effective planning, monitoring, and evaluation. The course aims to boost Coordinators' confidence in their role and their contribution to raising and improving standards and achievements.
This course is suitable for aspiring, newly appointed, and existing Literacy Co-ordinators. These courses can be booked by individual schools or colleges, or by groups.
