When you become an RT Lit you agree (unless you are already trained) to complete four P.G.Diploma papers in Special Education Literacy through Auckland University. If you are interested in completing some papers before getting a RT Lit job make sure you do the papers at Auckland University (they will not cross credit from other providers).

Literacy Education: Research and
Practice
Understandings of research tools adequate for empirical study and an application of theory to literacy practices, critical analysis of how research questions are constructed and ability to situate and view educational issues and questions within major theoretical frameworks in literacy education will be developed.
EDPROFST 702 (30 Points)
Challenges of Literacy Difficulties Research and practice in literacy education, including specific intervention strategies and resources will be examined and evaluated in depth. This will include an examination of the social, cultural, economic, psychological and physiological factors that influence literacy development, including approaches to support and overcome literacy difficulties experienced by diverse learners, including Mäori and Pasifika children.
Feelings: 700A does not appear to support the application of strategies to meet the needs of low literacy learners -having completed the block course and having the paper unpacked my feelings are still similar to above.
I am entitled to 1/2 a day per week so have negotiated taking one day a fortnight. Will be keeping in touch with neighbouring colleague and also with lecturer and online colleagues.
Looking forward to 702 as this might be applicable in everyday work life.
