The 2018 screen and media graduation screening, whistle-blowing reforms, reconnecting physical education graduates and examinations of education and police line-ups are the focus of intriguing events at Flinders this week.
Education public lecture
Visiting education scholar Rachael Levy from Sheffield University, UK, will deliver a public lecture about increasing literacy and reading in homes. Her subject, Multimodal Childhoods: Between Home Worlds and Sites of Learning, focuses on the substantial benefits of shared reading with young children in homes, from their earliest years. Her presentation draws on a research study with 29 families in two English cities, and offers practical solutions to support literacy in homes and communities.
