Then the workshop will move on to look at Digital Literacy learning activities and assessment tasks.

This advanced-level session builds on the introductory concepts from Semester 1 and takes a deeper dive into language teaching practice. Participants will explore more complex approaches to defining learning objectives and examine how to blend structure, spontaneity, and flow at an advanced level. More time will be dedicated to discussion, reflection, and applying strategies to real classroom scenarios.

This Semester 2 session extends beyond foundational reading instruction and explores advanced strategies for supporting reading development in adult ACFE classrooms. The workshop offers more time for professional discussion, deeper analysis of teaching approaches, and expanded planning tools for fostering engagement and higher‑order reading skills.

This advanced-level workshop expands on the introductory writing concepts from Semester 1, offering a deeper dive into teaching writing in ACFE classrooms. Participants will explore more sophisticated planning methods, higher-level learning objectives, and strategies to support creative and confident writers. Additional time will be provided for professional dialogue and practical application.

This Semester 2 Numeracy session takes participants beyond the foundational content and into a deeper exploration of numeracy teaching in adult and ACFE contexts. The workshop provides extended time for discussion, analysis, and the application of advanced planning techniques that support creativity, reengagement, and higher-level numeracy skills.

This Deep Dive webinar introduces trauma-informed teaching practice in the Learn Local context, with a focus on creating learning environments that are safe, welcoming, and responsive to the diverse experiences of adult learners.

Transformative learning occurs when learners encounter new ideas, perspectives or experiences that challenge their existing assumptions and understanding. This process encourages critical reflection, helping learners reconsider their beliefs, attitudes and practices considering new information.

This deep dive webinar explores strategies for effectively supporting learners across a range of LLN levels within the same learning environment.

This practical session explores inclusive teaching approaches that help reduce barriers to participation, increase learner confidence and support achievement across a range of learning goals. Drawing on Universal Design for Learning (UDL), adult learning principles and evidence-informed practice.

Teachers create engaging, inclusive, and learner-centred teaching resources while reducing preparation time. This practical 3-hour online workshop introduces four accessible AI tools that can support lesson planning, resource development, content creation, and learner engagement in pre-accredited training.
