Where can literacy teaching fit seamlessly into a lesson? Think teaching literacy means stepping outside your subject? Think again. Join this free webinar hosted by Technology Education New Zealand (TENZ), it is suitable for primary and secondary teachers.
This webinar, with guest speaker Rebecca Barrett, unpacks evidence-based approaches to embedding literacy authentically within Technology teaching – without adding to your workload. You’ll be guided through a clear planning framework, practical examples, and adaptable strategies that can be applied across Years 4–10.
This session provides concrete ideas you can take straight back to your planning, helping literacy sit naturally within your existing programmes rather than as an add-on.
