#Take5 # 144   Who are we – and what do we do? Introducing the Academic Language and Learning Development Role Taxonomy 

Other:

We have created a 12-page booklet that explores the proposed academic language and learning development (ALLD) practitioners’ taxonomy in detail. It is advised that the ALLD taxonomy is used as a reflective CPD tool by individual ALLD practitioners.

Furthermore, are now using the ALLD taxonomy as part of a chapter in an upcoming book about Learning Development.
