Purpose
The Copyright Agency’s Reading Australia Fellowship for Teachers of English and Literacy will support an experienced teacher to undertake professional skills development and career-enhancing opportunities.
Overview
The Fellowship will support the successful candidate to undertake project research in a designated area that will enhance their skills and abilities in the teaching of Australian Literature, English and literacy to Australian students. Research projects may be undertaken in Australia or overseas but ultimately Australian teachers, teacher librarians and students should benefit from the research findings.
The Fellowship is not intended to support projects involving the teaching of English as a second language or for academic purposes.
This Fellowship is an initiative of Reading Australia, the Copyright Agency’s initiative to encourage the teaching of Australian literature in schools by creating and publishing freely-available resources for teachers, by teachers. Reading Australia has almost 300 resources to books by Australian writers mapped to the curriculum priorities for teachers to use in schools.
One Fellowship will be awarded each year.
Amount of grant: $15,000
