Literacy Impact™

Ways to work with us

Choose the support your school needs now.

Not every school needs the same level of support. All three pathways are grounded in the same Literacy Impact™ methodology. The difference is how much diagnosis, guidance and implementation support you need.

You may already know what needs to change, but need greater confidence in how to lead it. You may be looking at your student data and asking what to prioritise first. Or you may be ready to stop tackling literacy improvement through isolated initiatives and build a coherent whole-school approach with an expert partner alongside you.

Three pathways. One methodology.

Each pathway is built on the same Literacy Impact™ approach. Choose the level of support that fits where your school is now.

Online leadership modules

Leading Literacy Impact™

A literacy implementation curriculum for school leaders

“We know what needs to change. We need to know how to lead it.”

You may understand the research and have strong curriculum and pedagogical knowledge. But curriculum knowledge is not implementation knowledge. Being a great teacher doesn’t automatically prepare you to build a literacy system. That’s a different leadership capability.

Leading Literacy Impact™ is the implementation curriculum I wish I’d had as a school leader. It gives principals, deputies and literacy leaders a structured way to understand what strong literacy systems look like and how to lead the work, from diagnosing the issue and setting priorities through to implementation, monitoring and sustaining improvement.

Every month for 12 months, you can bring your questions to a 90-minute online office hours session with me, learning alongside school leaders from other schools and states who are leading the same work.

What’s included: the School Improvement Blueprint™ plus nine self-paced modules, with implementation frameworks, diagnostic tools and literacy routines ready to use in your context, and 12 months of monthly 90-minute online office hours with Julie alongside school leaders from across Australia.

Best for: leadership teams who broadly know what needs to change and want the knowledge, tools and confidence to lead the implementation themselves.

Diagnosis and strategy

Literacy Impact™ Audit and Strategy Consultation

For clarity and direction

“We know our results need to improve. We need clarity about what to fix first.”

Perhaps your intervention list keeps growing. Too many students remain below benchmark. Your NAPLAN results aren’t shifting as expected. Or you have multiple programs, assessments and approaches in place, but aren’t confident which part of the system is limiting student growth.

In this one-day online consultation, I work alongside your leadership team (up to six leaders) to examine your student and staff data, assessment schedule, Tier 1 teaching, curriculum, intervention and current improvement processes. We ask: where are you now, where do you want to be, why aren’t you there yet, and what needs to happen next?

You leave with

A personalised strategy plan for your school, including:

  • an ORF, spelling or writing assessment decision tree
  • a screening plan and data chats guide
  • a multi-tiered systems of support (MTSS) template to adapt to your context
  • a year-long overview of your priorities

Best for: schools that know something needs to change but want expert diagnosis and a clear, evidence-informed starting point before deciding on their next move.

Signature partnership

Building Literacy Excellence™

Turn your school’s literacy effort into measurable impact that lasts.

“We are ready to build this properly, and we want an expert partner alongside us.”

Building Literacy Excellence™ is my signature one-year strategic partnership for schools ready to move beyond isolated professional learning and deliberately build the conditions and systems for sustainable whole-school literacy improvement.

Together, we define what strong literacy systems look like, provide a structured pathway to build them, and measure whether they are working, adjusting as we go so success becomes increasingly predictable. You are not handed a roadmap and left to find the time. Your leadership team has dedicated time mapped out across the year to lead the improvement, with your school’s personalised roadmap and regular strategy and accountability check-ins.

  • Termly Roadmap Sessions with your personalised school improvement roadmap
  • Weekly 90-minute strategy sessions for your leadership team
  • Professional learning days for teachers
  • Leading Literacy Impact™ modules and the School Improvement Blueprint™
  • Capability building for senior and middle leaders

Best for: schools ready for sustained whole-school improvement that want expert guidance, implementation support and accountability alongside them. It also builds teacher champions into middle leaders, so improvement holds through staff turnover.

Your investment: one annual investment per school, including up to four leaders. Pay upfront or across two semester payments.

Not sure which literacy support your school needs?

You don’t need to diagnose the problem before we speak. A 15-minute Literacy Clarity Call is a conversation about where your school is now, what you’re seeing, what change you’re working towards, and what level of support is likely to be most useful.

Frequently asked questions

Why choose Literacy Impact™ to support your school improvement journey?

I have spent more than 25 years inside schools across Australia and the UK as a specialist teacher, SENCO, Support Teacher Learning Difficulties and Deputy Principal, often in challenging and EAL/D communities. I know what it is like when a student is struggling and no one is sure what is driving it, which diagnostic to use next or what to teach.

That is why I don’t begin with a program. We diagnose before we prescribe. Literacy Impact™ gives schools the literacy support and professional learning to build the MTSS and RTI systems behind whole school literacy improvement: strong Tier 1 teaching, timely screening, clear diagnostic pathways, matched intervention and leadership oversight. We measure as we go, so success becomes increasingly predictable. Fewer students fall through the gaps, and intervention lists stop growing.

Because literacy changes the trajectory of a child’s life.

Which pathway is right for our school?

If you know what needs to change and need to lead it, start with Leading Literacy Impact™. If you need clarity on what to fix first, choose the Literacy Impact™ Audit and Strategy Consultation. If you are ready for a year of supported whole school change, apply for Building Literacy Excellence™.

Can we start with one pathway and build from there?

Yes. Many schools begin with the Leading Literacy Impact™ modules or the Literacy Impact™ Audit and Strategy Consultation, then move into Building Literacy Excellence™ once priorities are clear. Your first step also counts towards the partnership: join Building Literacy Excellence™ within 30 days, and its cost comes off your investment, subject to places being available.

Do all three pathways use the same approach?

Yes. All three use the Literacy Impact™ methodology. The difference is how much diagnosis, guidance and implementation support your team receives.
