Greg Clement is Principal at Clayton South Primary School, and blogs at principals-of-reading.com/. He has recently started his Science of Reading journey, and is leading a meaningful and rapid change at his School.
Implementing the Science of Reading
Primary School Principal Greg Clement is successfully leading a change in practice at Clayton South Primary School. Greg began his Science of Reading journey after meeting a speech pathologist, and subsequently hiring her to run an Intervention Program. Since, Greg has introduced the techniques and interventions at Clayton South Primary School and is seeing amazing change in reading fluency at all levels.
Some of you may have read Greg’s blog, Principals of Reading, and if you have, you will already know the immense passion Greg has for improving reading fluency at all year levels. In his blog, Greg talks about using the COVID lock down period to focus in on students at risk, and had all staff - leadership, teachers and teacher aides - work one on one with students over webcam, achieving remarkable results during this challenging time of learning.

More about our presenter
Greg Clement began his teaching career in 2006 at Hillsmeade Primary School in Victoria working predominantly in the junior years, and interestingly he started with a passion for numeracy.
He then worked as a data coach and took his first Principal position at Bolinda Primary. Family commitments brought Greg back to Melbourne in 2020 where he started at Clayton South Primary School just in time to face the challenges of COVID and remote learning.
Greg has two young boys, one diagnosed with high-functioning ASD for whom reading has never been a problem. On the other hand, his younger son had zero interest in reading and this formed the catalyst for Greg’s research and particular interest in reading fluency for all students.
