More Information About This Event
ATYP On Demand Plus is a digital platform that provides primary educators access to a series of detailed units of work that use Drama and Literacy strategies to teach content and concepts within the Australian Curriculum, F-6.
The program has been developed with academics from The University of Sydney including Professor Emerita Robyn Ewing AM.
We have 8 different units available (see below).
