Professional Learning Programmes at School (PLPs@School) on Addressing the Diverse Needs of Learners

Overview

As KP and TLs of the EL department of a school, you will co-decide and co-select the shared learning focus for your department from ELIS’s flagship PLP@School. PLP@School is designed to enable all in your EL department to build the knowledge bases to address the diverse needs of learners in EL classrooms. You will co-lead your department in applying the learning and inquiring into classroom application.

Your EL department can look forward to three areas of support from an MTT/EL:

1. Guidance in the selection of the learning focus for your department

Your EL department will choose one of the following areas of language learning:

• Teaching Oracy (Primary/Secondary)

• Teaching Reading and Viewing (Primary/Secondary)

• Teaching Writing and Representing (Primary/Secondary)  

For any area of language learning that you select, your EL department members will deepen their knowledge bases to address the diverse needs of learners in EL classrooms and to develop in them Emerging 21st Century Competencies (E21CC). You will also consider ways of using EdTech, including AI, in blended learning contexts to support active learning in the selected area, and in integration with the other areas of language learning.

2. Support in forming and guiding PLTs in your department to deepen your teachers’ knowledge, skills and classroom practice in the area of language learning your department decides on.

3. Guidance in the growth of teacher leadership. You will learn to lead and guide your colleagues in planning and inquiring into the impact of their application of learning on student learning outcomes.
