Literacy Strategies

Teachers, professionals and administrators have noticed a decline in the literacy levels of students entering the classroom. Students who have weak literacy skills are at risk of not completing their education. These adult learners need explicit and appropriate literacy instruction across the curriculum.

Through this 2018-2019 project, the English Adult Educational community mobilized its expertise and resources from across the province in order to help students develop their English literacy skills and, consequently, increase success and graduation rates.

Wendy has researched and given workshops on various non-ELA subjects, including aspects of Professional Learning Communities, Formative Assessment, and Trauma-Sensitive Teachers/Schools.
