0 Comments

 
The Languages and Culture team would like to warmly congratulate Katherine Brownlee (Gosford HS) for being awarded the NSW Premier's Language Teacher Scholarship for 2020.

This prestigious award recognises teachers investigating exemplary practice relevant to teaching and learning in languages. Valued at $15,000, the funding will enable Katherine to research how Comprehensible Input (CI)-based approaches to language teaching can lead to improved student engagement and learning outcomes across NSW and Australia.

We're also very proud at the Languages and Culture team, as Katherine is one of network leaders, mentors and LANG Professional Learning Leaders. Katherine is an exemplary teacher and leader, a passionate languages advocate and educator, and this honour is thoroughly deserved.

Congratulations, Katherine!
