Workshop Materials
The Literacies for Learning in FE DVD:
The DVD shows how course tutors researched their students' everyday literacy practices and the role of reading and writing on their courses. It then shows how they used this research to make small changes in their practice, related to literacies for learning.
Activities and additional resources for use in professional development workshops
devised by Candice Satchwell.
