Thrilled to share that our short courses are now live! For years, Clinic Director Professor @SaskiaKohnen and I have shared the goal of empowering teachers so that fewer children need to come to the Clinic for support. Our first 2 courses are available now, with more to come!
Enrol now for a short course and learn from experts at the Australian Centre for the Advancement of Literacy. Our courses are self-paced, fully online and there are no live sessions. Accessible anywhere, anytime and on any device. Explore our courses - https://t.co/tu6MiHOPUA
