The L3 Regional Trainer Course
In 2010, Curriculum Directorate through Best Start,
is training L3 Regional trainers.
The L3 Program
L3 Regional trainers :
• Teach two small groups of three to four Kindergarten students
during their classroom Literacy session, three days per week.
• Participate in all train the trainer activities.
• Participate in six in-class visits by Curriculum Directorate.
• Deliver training and in-school support to up to 15 Kindergarten
teachers and support staff in up to five schools per year.
Kindergarten teams from participating schools
Attend 12 half-day training
sessions with other
Kindergarten teams from a
small community of schools.
Kindergarten teams from participating schools
Participate in 4 half day
collegial visits, involving
classroom observation
and discussion with
the L3 regional trainer.
Kindergarten teams from participating schools
Complete between
session tasks and collect
ongoing student data.
Participating schools
Provide funding and other support
to ensure the participation of
Kindergarten teachers and support
staff in training and the effective
implementation of the L3
program.
Participating schools
Maintain implementation of
L3 as a regular in-class
intervention for Kindergarten
students with additional
support needs.
Future Planning
It is proposed that Curriculum K-12 Directorate offer
training and support that would accredit 15 teachers as
regional L3 trainers each year from 2010 to 2012.
Regional Directors would decide regional involvement
in the program.
Future Planning
The professional learning components of the course will
be registered with the NSW Institute of Teachers.
