The research

Behind Literacy Impact

The High Impact Reading Instruction and Intervention Masterclass was created by Julie Scali and I too, am a passionate and dedicated educator. As a former Deputy Principal leading whole school improvement for 8 years I have a deep understanding of the pressures principals and teachers face, and the varied needs of students.

As a Deputy Principal I led my previous school in the implementation of evidence-based, whole school approaches aligned with the science of reading. The impact was significant in not only raising the achievement and motivation of students in Writing, Spelling and Reading, but in the teacher efficacy, confidence, use of data and collaboration. There is now a consistent, sustainable improvement agenda in place in the school, a strong coaching model and community engagement.

My passion for making a difference for students of a range of abilities has been evident since the start of my career. I have taught in both mainstream and special educational needs settings in Perth, Belfast and London and was a Special Needs Coordinator (SENCO) in a London school. This led me on a path to completing my Graduate Certificate in Learning Difficulties and spending two years at the Centre for Inclusive schooling (now SSEND). As a Support Teacher Learning Difficulties I consulted in schools in Literacy improvement and Response to Intervention and delivered school based and statewide Professional Learning. My work has also been published in Learning Difficulties Australia Bulletin, The Reading Teacher, Education Review and Class Ideas K-3 publications.

Testimonials

The High Impact reading Instruction and Intervention Masterclass is a course that has greatly supported me and given me the knowledge to lead literacy in my school. It has made me look and analyse what my school is currently doing and help me to see where the gaps are and what Professional development is required. Following the course I have adapted our Response to Intervention plan and have included areas that we need to implement into our school's strategic plan. The course is self paced and Julie's lectures are extremely engaging as she uses research that is also backed up with her experience and knowledge.There are many valuable resources that can be adapted and used in your own context. This is an extremely valuable course that I highly recommend to anyone who is leading literacy in their school or is aspiring to do so.

I would like to thank Julie for an insightful and detailed Masterclass course. She presented the lectures with ease; displaying expertise of Reading instruction and intervention. The course materials supplied were invaluable along with the recommended readings, student assessments and books. Listening to Julie’s personal teaching experiences and the difference high impact instruction can make I just knew that this course was going to influence the way that I teach those students with reading deficits.

I have come away more informed in the Science of Reading, re-evaluated the importance of Phonemic Awareness and started using phoneme manipulation more in my class. My biggest take away, however, is Response to Intervention and the importance of data. So much so the day after the lecture, I went to work planning extra assessments to assist me with the monitoring of student progress and their RTI. In addition to this I also felt more confident in my knowledge of Structured Synthetic Phonics.

Julie was readily available through email or her course Facebook community page to answer questions and assist participants in any way she could.

I would highly recommend this masterclass to all educators.
