About the course

The SSTUWA, in partnership with TLN in Melbourne, are pleased to offer this online learning opportunity.

Essay writing is a common assessment method in English and the humanities subjects. It is particularly important for senior secondary students. The more techniques we have in our toolkit to support students to develop this skill, the more effective our teaching will be. In this session, an experienced secondary English teacher will work through five techniques they have used to build student essay writing skills. 

The focus is on practical classroom ready techniques that you can readily implement in your classroom, whatever subject you are teaching.

Delivery method: Live online event

The event will be one hour in duration and consist of live delivery of content at the specified time by a presenter and a host. You will also have an opportunity to interact with other participants and engage with the presenter online. Completing this course will contribute to one hour of professional learning and a certificate will be provided at the end of the session.
