At this meeting we heard from two teachers who have been successfully implementing the science of reading and science of learning in their classrooms. They shared their experiences and provide tips for setting up the new year for success. Sarah Johnstone from Guthridge Primary School (Sale) is currently a Literacy Specialist and has previously held leadership and principal positions. Rachael Geerts from St Pauls Anglican Grammar School (Traralgon) has recently been appointed Director of Learning and Teaching and previously was the Learning Specialist at Loch Primary School.
