Webinar Overview
Esther Campion is a literacy teacher at TasTAFE and a published author. Her latest novel, The Writing Class, published by Hachette Australia in late 2024, draws on Esther’s extensive experience as a literacy teacher in TAFEs, prisons and local libraries. Reflecting on her teaching experience and expertise, Esther will share lessons she has learned across her teaching career and explain what inspired this novel. The Writing Class draws on Esther’s experience of the positive impacts of adult education, the importance of social learning, and the benefits of increased confidence.  Esther, who admits to being fascinated by people, has drawn on her knowledge of engaging adults with a wide range of literacy levels and differing goals to share how adult literacy teachers foster a love of learning together.
