EDUP4092: Personalising Literacies

2026 unit information

Access to education is the right of all students. Differing student needs requires teachers to develop and implement personalised approaches to enable access, participation and progress in their learning. This unit of study provides an applied experience in designing and implementing an intensive personalised learning program for a student receiving a reasonable adjustment to their literacy program. Students will work with a primary student across at least 15 sessions under the guidance of a qualified teacher. PST will demonstrate their skills in systematically and explicitly implementing a personalised literacy program, articulating how this program is supported across curriculum areas.
