Network: Pedagogical Leadership for EAL Learners

NETWORK FOCUS

• Re-imagine EAL in schools - What does this mean for our EAL Students? What does this mean for leaders/teachers, school communities and the Catholic Education system?
• Collectively support schools to implement strategic plans for accelerating English as an Additional Language learning; informed by key CESA documents
• Support development of learning partnerships within the network and beyond in which participants learn with, from and on behalf of others, to generate new knowledge and inform system change
• Build leadership capacity through a focus on developing social emotional intelligence, for working effectively with colleagues and leading professional learning 
• Engage with research based learning about pedagogy and language that promotes high quality teaching and learning and builds a culture of high expectations for EAL learners
