On behalf of Pearson Professional Learning and Stepping Out, welcome to the Stepping Out homepage.
Educators often search for an effective way to support, plan, and implement whole school approaches for literacy improvement. Stepping Out, a school-wide Professional Development Model, was specifically designed to provide this critical link. A grades 7-12 educational resource, it is comprised of courses and materials researched and developed by the Education Department of Western Australia, and recently enhanced by new literacy research from Canada and the United States.
Developed from current research unique to adolescent learners, professional development courses have been developed specifically for classroom teachers, literacy leaders and whole school staff. Courses incorporate theory, modeled practice, interactive and collaborative activities, as well as productive and practical strategies known to enhance adolescent learning. Participants at courses receive a text and a practical resource book that have immediate application at the classroom and whole school level.
