TRANSCRIPT
Planning for Differentiation using an Inquiry Process
Knowledge of how to use the Literacy Continuum to Map and Track Student Progress
Learning Intention
Success Criteria
We will be successful when we:
1. Become familiar with the critical aspects identified in the continuum
2. Begin to develop an understanding of the progression of writing
across the learning sequence and implications to differentiated planning
3. Identify how the Literacy continuum K–10 can support the teaching of
writing at your school.
4. Map gifted/high ability students to the continuum to find point of need
instruction.
Aspects, Clusters and Markers
There are eight critical aspects which are organised into clusters of learning that appear in a sequence. Within these clusters, there are markers which are milestones of expected achievement of the typical student at particular points in time.
