Literacy Project
The Literacy Project assists schools to meet the literacy outcomes identified in the NT Curriculum Framework (NTCF) by providing teachers, parents and communities with knowledge, understandings and effective strategies to enhance learning.
The Literacy Project aims to build relationships with schools to develop whole school literacy approaches across the curriculum, and to build the capacity of teachers to deliver effective and appropriate literacy programs for all children.
