PROJECTS

A range of strategies have been developed in consultation with schools participating in the National Partnership Agreement on Literacy and Numeracy. These include the provision of professional learning in:

• understanding and interpreting data; and in using this data to inform school and classroom programs
• effective and evidence- based teaching; and support by a specialist literacy/numeracy teacher to demonstrate effective teaching strategies, observe lessons and provide guidance to teachers
• providing differentiation in the classroom to better target individual student needs
• managing the class and orchestrating lessons in ways that lead to improved learning
• understanding the requirements of the NAPLAN assessments, and in embedding strategies that lead to sustained improvement in student achievement.

 Schools are also provided with support and guidance in:

• whole school planning
• developing scope and sequence documents.
