PDST-Literacy: Where We are Now

As part of the national strategy to improve literacy among young people, the PDST will be rolling out a series of workshops for post-primary teachers of English, between February 2012 and March 2012. We are inviting a member of the English Department in your school to attend the first workshop ‘Literacy: Where We are Now’. The workshop will explore different perspectives on literacy.
