Overview


Postgraduate Certificate in Structured Literacy

The Postgraduate Certificate in Structured Literacy supports classroom teachers, literacy interventionists, and allied professionals (such as speech-language therapists) to strengthen their expertise in structured literacy assessment and teaching, particularly for children with literacy learning challenges.

By analysing and evaluating structured literacy approaches you will develop the ability to use evidence to inform your instructional decisions, monitor learner progress, and reflect on the effectiveness of your structured literacy practice.  

Whether you are seeking to formalise your existing professional practice, enhance your effectiveness in structured literacy instruction, or move into specialist literacy positions within schools and related services, UC’s fully online Postgraduate Certificate in Structured Literacy will enable you to make a valid contribution across a range of education contexts.
