Successful implementation of the BSLA requires literacy professionals skilled in supporting kaiako and kura to implement the assessment and teaching through a coaching and mentoring model.
Suitable professionals include Resource Teachers for Literacy, Resource Teachers for Learning and Behaviour, Speech Language Therapists or other literacy specialists. Completion of this course will provide participants with all the skills and resources required to lead the implementation of the BSLA in their chosen kura, Kāhui Ako or cluster.
Facilitators need to be partnered with 3-4 Year 0 - 3/4 teachers, in order to complete the requirements of the training.
These teachers also need to be registered to complete the Teacher microcredential.
