 Welcome to ALEA Victoria
ALEA Victoria has a State Executive and two Local Councils. Together we provide high quality professional development for teachers and work with members to achieve the best possible literacy learning outcomes for all students. We also aim to provide a forum for open debate on language and literacy issues and to critique policy, program and pedagogical initiatives in Victoria.



Our Services include:
  • Professional Development - a range of events is offered throughout the year, in both metropolitan and regional areas.
  • National Conference – hosted by a different State or Territory each year. More information can be found on the conference website

    Call for interested ALEA members to join the
    ALEA Victoria National Conference 2011 Planning Committee


  • Professional Conversation, Support and Advocacy – See our Frequently Asked Questions page. Local council committees meet on a regular basis to plan and organise professional development events and provide a focus for professional conversation. Members are most welcome to participate in meetings on a regular or irregular basis.



    Professional Development 2010

    Each year ALEA provides wonderful professional dvelopment opportunities related to key aspects of literacy.  Along with the ALEA State Conference presented over two single days, the success of last year's study group program has ensured that another outstanding program will once again be offered.  Each PD activity represents a terrific chance to meet and to network with colleagues who are keen to promote effective literacy learning for the 21st Century.
