Critical Literacy: Why these skills are more important than ever!

Recorded WEBINAR: tHURSDAY jUNE 25TH, 7 PM, 2020

The amount of misinformation that has bombarded the internet during COVID-19 has caused our communities undue angst and stress. As educators how can we support our young people/ rangatahi to be critically literate and enabled by information rather than dis-empowered?

Join our panel discussion hosted by Alana Madgwick to discuss the value of critical literacy and how we should teach critical literacy in every classroom in every school/ kura in Aotearoa.

Our expert panel includes a variety of voices:

Associate Professor Dr. Susan Sandretto (University of Otago) and author of the book, Planting Seeds: Embedding Critical Literacy into your classroom programmes (NZCER, 2011).

Kaumatua Dr. Mike Paki, Director of Paki & Associates - A Cultural and Educational consultant who works with Educational Institutions to embed Iwi-centric ways of being, doing and knowing within their systems of teaching and learning

Other panel members include teachers implementing critical literacy skills into their teaching practice.
