Programmes for Students: Accelerating Learning in Literacy and Mathematics
Evaluation and Self-Review Day
March 3, 2014
![Page 2: Programmes for Students: Accelerating Learning in Literacy and Mathematics](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081604/568168af550346895ddf6d06/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
Accelerating Learning in Literacy…
• Is based on a ‘Theory of Action’…
• A short term intervention (15 weeks) in addition to students’ current literacy teaching ...
• Uses a process of inquiry …
• Engages whānau …
• Is responsive to student needs …
• Has some external support …

Accelerating Learning in Literacy (ALL) is…
‘A school inquiry and knowledge building programme that accelerates progress for a target group of students, (Year 1)… and sustains cycles of inquiry for breadth and coherence.’ (Year 2&3 - a school curriculum and achievement programme)

Rationale for Programmes for Students
• There is a national problem that needs solving
• There is often confusion about how to respond to particular student needs
• There is a propensity not to respond differently
• The system has not developed a mediating layer to support capability building
National, regional & local student achievement data show pockets of success

• Uncertainty about how to respond to the numbers of students that were not making progress;
• A culture of dependency on “second wave” interventions;
• A lack of capability at the classroom level to assess and provide intensive, explicit literacy instruction;
• A confusing clutter of mismatched, sometimes counterproductive interventions.
Recommendation: That the MoE develop a conceptual framework that strengthens all aspects of literacy support.
Borderfield’s Report (2008)
![Page 7: Programmes for Students: Accelerating Learning in Literacy and Mathematics](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081604/568168af550346895ddf6d06/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
“…business as usual approached prevailed….most schools were able to identify their learners who were not achieving…but continued to use the same strategies, programmes and initiatives they had tried before. Few had evidence that these actually accelerated the progress of their priority learners…”
ERO Mathematics Report (2013)
There is a propensity not to respond differently
![Page 8: Programmes for Students: Accelerating Learning in Literacy and Mathematics](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081604/568168af550346895ddf6d06/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
ERO Report – Accelerating the progress of Priority Learners in Primary Schools (May 2013)
‘A system–wide emphasis on the strategies teachers can use to accelerated progress is needed. All teachers have an ethical responsibility to help those students that need to catch up to their peers. This is essential if we are to raise the achievement of NZ students relative to their international counterparts.’ (p.21)
![Page 9: Programmes for Students: Accelerating Learning in Literacy and Mathematics](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081604/568168af550346895ddf6d06/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Therefore…
• the system needs do things differently.
It needs to focus on all students and build capability through a system response that is contextualised to meet individual needs.

Questions to consider
• Is the intervention appropriate for the identified students?
• What is the impact of each of these interventions and what evidence do we have that they are successful?
• What next for the students for whom the intervention wasn’t successful?
![Page 12: Programmes for Students: Accelerating Learning in Literacy and Mathematics](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081604/568168af550346895ddf6d06/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Curriculum and Achievement Plan
![Page 13: Programmes for Students: Accelerating Learning in Literacy and Mathematics](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081604/568168af550346895ddf6d06/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Curriculum and Achievement Plan• Many schools already have elements of a CaAP
• A school wide plan showing the NZC (and school curriculum)
• Brings together an assessment plan – but includes responses to achievement
• Shows outcomes – what schools want students to achieve (graduate profile)
• Helps schools plan for and be accountable for all supplementary supports
• Keeps the focus on ‘what works’
• Supports schools to pick up the pace for all students to achieve

National Leader reflections on 2013
Strengths:
• Student achievement• Student and teacher agency• Appreciation of regionally based delivery• High levels of engagement and positivity• Uptake of the key understandings in the
‘Theory of Action’• Priority learners
![Page 16: Programmes for Students: Accelerating Learning in Literacy and Mathematics](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081604/568168af550346895ddf6d06/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
So… What worked for whom? • close analysis of students capabilities to determine needs
… and then teaching to these• innovative and exciting contexts and content chosen as
the ‘vehicle’ of learning • a focus on goal setting by students • a focus on oral language • providing opportunities for fluency and mileage • well planned and structured lessons where careful
scaffolding occurred (and continual modifications)• quality literature as foundation material • some schools had considerable success in the
development of a strong home link
![Page 17: Programmes for Students: Accelerating Learning in Literacy and Mathematics](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081604/568168af550346895ddf6d06/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Areas for improvement:• Scripted, shallow, skill-based
programmes that can be bought and followed
• Acceleration• Overall teacher judgements• Teaching as inquiry• Inquiry teams• What does ‘in addition’ mean?
![Page 18: Programmes for Students: Accelerating Learning in Literacy and Mathematics](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081604/568168af550346895ddf6d06/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)

Enacting the Theory of Action
• Supplementary inquiry team• Teaching as Inquiry• BES Principles and Conditions of Learning• Curriculum and Achievement Plan (CaAP)• Self-review tool• A focus on acceleration
![Page 20: Programmes for Students: Accelerating Learning in Literacy and Mathematics](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081604/568168af550346895ddf6d06/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Supplementary Inquiry Team
The key role of this team is to ensure there are adequate conditions for sustaining and embedding effective practices.
(e.g. one role of this group is to support other classroom teachers to inquire into the effectiveness of aspects of their practice and transfer learnings from the supplementary programme to the classroom.)ToA Pg.12
![Page 21: Programmes for Students: Accelerating Learning in Literacy and Mathematics](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081604/568168af550346895ddf6d06/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Identify the level of support groups of students will
need to access this learning focus
Describe what students know and do (describe the rich
resources students can bring to the next learning
experiences)
TEACHING INQUIRYWhat strategies will
help my students learn this?
What do I need to do differently?
TEACHING AND LEARNING
SUPPLEMENTARY SUPPORT INQUIRYScaffolded learning
(inside and/or outside of the classroom) that
leads to acceleration of progress
so students able to engage with classroom
curriculum
TEACHING AND LEARNING
Rich classroom experiences for all students based on school curriculum
LEARNING INQUIRYWhat happened as a
result of the teaching?An evaluation of impact, including
whether students are at or above standard and/or progressing as
expected
FOCUSING INQUIRYWhat’s important to
learn? (socio-cultural
learning, school curriculum)
Using “Teaching as Inquiry” to trigger
supplementary supports for
some students
![Page 22: Programmes for Students: Accelerating Learning in Literacy and Mathematics](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081604/568168af550346895ddf6d06/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
BES Principles and conditions of learning
• How well are we using what we know works?
• Which levers are we currently using in our work?
• Which ones do we need to focus more on or include?
![Page 23: Programmes for Students: Accelerating Learning in Literacy and Mathematics](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081604/568168af550346895ddf6d06/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Schools’ inquiry should be focused on doing something differently, but pedagogically sound in response to the PfS inquiry focus.
