Copyright Agency Reading Australia 31 July 2024

Maya Mulhall, a teacher from Blackburn High School in Victoria, is the 2024 Reading Australia Fellow for teachers of English and literacy and teacher librarians.

The Reading Australia Fellowship provides $15,000 to a leading English and/or literacy teacher or teacher librarian to undertake a career-enhancing research project that will benefit the successful Fellow as well as the education sector.

Copyright Agency created Reading Australia in 2013 to provide much-need resources for Australian teachers. There are now almost 300 curriculum-mapped resources on Reading Australia for years F–12.

Maya’s project will focus on developing a respectful, culturally appropriate, and responsive approach to First Nations literature and how the education system can accurately, respectfully and thoroughly analyse First Nations literature without imposing set colonial frameworks of comprehension.
