On Saturday 2 June 2018 Larissa McLean Davies and Philip Mead presented a workshop with the South Australian English Teachers Association (SAETA) for early career English teachers in Adelaide. The session explored the issues, experiences and approaches of early career teachers of English and included:
- strategies for survival in the first few years
- the social side of English teaching – book clubs, literature festivals and writing groups
- the usefulness of peer review
- selecting texts that suit the student demographic
- encouraging resistant readers
- developing effective assessment strategies
- jobs in English teaching
Thank you to all the South Australian teachers who attended!
