APPA Project: Principals as Literacy Leaders with Indigenous Communities

You can find information about this new research project by clicking here or on the PALLIC menu under the Research Projects menu item above.

PALLIC builds on the success of Principals as Literacy Leaders (PALL) which commenced in 2009 as part of the Commonwealth’s Literacy and Numeracy Pilots in Low SES School Communities. Both are initiatives of and managed by the Australian Primary Principals’ Association (APPA).

The PALLIC project objective is to develop the literacy and leadership capabilities of school and community leadership teams and thereby improve SAE literacy outcomes for Indigenous students in partnership with their families. In a nut shell, PALLIC is about Principals and their Indigenous Leadership Partners coupled with their school’s Learning Catalysts working together with support from Literacy Leadership Mentors to make a difference to the teaching of reading in their schools.
