Synthetic Phonics – What You Need to Know as a CRT

In 2025 every Victorian Government school, and all Catholic schools, will teach synthetic phonics in the lower grades as part of their literacy programs. This approach to literacy is likely to be a significant change for many schools and as a CRT you will be expected to be on board with these changes from the very start of the year. If you have no or limited experience with synthetic phonics this week’s podcast will give you a brief overview of what to expect and how you can source sufficient knowledge and resources to get underway with the synthetic phonics approach. In thirty minutes we can’t cover every aspect but it will be a great way to start.Professional Development OpportunityProfessional learning may include:•seminars, conferences, workshops and online learning•collegiate meetings and professional conversations focused on improving practice and outcomes for learners•participation in education-related boards, committees or panels.This episode focuses on:Australian Professional Standards for Teachers1.3 Understand how students learn2.5 Literacy and numeracy strategies3.2 Plan, structure and sequence learning programs3.3 Use teaching strategies3.4 Select and use resources4.2 Manage classroom activities6.2 Engage in professional learning and improve practice6.4 Apply professional learning and improve student learning7.1 Meet professional ethics and responsibilitiesLooking for work?
