Let’s create a ‘Little Book of Quotes’!
Add quotes from the resource, including references, to support the professional learning of your colleagues.
Session 2 (Day 1) aims to:
• deepen literacy knowledge and understanding
• provide opportunities for you to explore the resource
• explore key terminology to develop a shared language for future conversations
• investigate and become familiar with the theories that underpin the resource.
