This document provides supplementary guidance for implementing the National Literacy and Numeracy Framework (LNF) for learners with additional learning needs. It aims to ensure all learners are fully included in the LNF. The LNF builds on the Routes for Learning framework, incorporating its progression statements. It consists of age-related expectations as well as pre-cursor skills in the "Routes to literacy/numeracy" sections. For many learners with severe or profound needs, the earliest levels will provide the best guidance over their school career. Small steps of progress within and between levels are emphasized over simply "ticking off" statements.
The document outlines reforms to Norway's education system including:
1. New curricula and syllabuses across all subjects with core curricula maintained but local flexibility in organization.
2. A national quality framework established clear competence goals for students and apprentices across basic skills.
3. Structural changes including making a second foreign language compulsory and extending general matriculation requirements.
4. A strategy developed to increase teacher competence through further education priorities and national funding between 2005-2008.
This document summarizes the results of a study that evaluated the efficiency of 78 state universities and colleges (SUCs) in the Philippines from 2006 to 2009 using data envelopment analysis (DEA). The study found that the majority of SUCs had efficiency scores of less than 1, indicating inefficiency. The DEA results also provided target input and output levels that could help SUCs achieve potential cost savings. Productivity improved slightly for about 62% of SUCs over the period analyzed. The findings suggest further research is needed to identify and address factors affecting the performance and operations of inefficient SUCs.

Communicative competence assessment for learning: The effect of the applicati...eraser Juan José Calderón
This research article discusses the design and evaluation of a communicative competence assessment model for primary education teachers in Spain. The researchers conducted focus groups with teachers from four primary schools to gather feedback on the assessment model. The results showed that teachers open to educational innovation responded positively to the systematic assessment model, while teachers less receptive to changes found the model complex to apply. Overall, the assessment model helped teachers better understand the different dimensions of communicative competence and increased awareness of discourse levels in student assessments.
The Common Core State Standards Initiative aims to establish consistent K-12 standards in English/language arts and mathematics across states. 48 states and territories have adopted the standards to better prepare students for college and careers and ensure clear expectations regardless of location. The standards emphasize fewer, higher concepts and apply knowledge through skills like problem solving. They were developed through an evidence-based process incorporating feedback from educators and other experts.

1) ESOL learners are extremely diverse, ranging from highly educated learners learning a new language to those with little to no formal education or literacy in any language. This diversity means learners need very different amounts of time to progress.
2) Qualification and funding systems assume an "average learner" but providers reported this does not exist for ESOL. Learners need programs from as little as 45 hours to as many as 450 hours per year based on their backgrounds and skills.
3) For learners with little education or literacy, moving from no skills to Entry Level 1 qualification takes much longer than for literacy learners as they must learn all four skills of speaking, listening, reading and writing from

The document discusses key features of the Philippines' K-12 curriculum for basic education. It aims to be learner-centered, culturally responsive, and competency-based. Some key changes include adding two years to basic education for a total of 12 years, requiring kindergarten, and introducing a new senior high school program. The goals are to better prepare students for employment, higher education, and global competitiveness through an enhanced, decongested curriculum. While implementation challenges exist, supporters believe the reformed system will benefit students long-term.
The document provides details on the Spanish syllabus for the Leaving Certificate in Ireland. It includes the general aims of developing students' communicative competence, language awareness, understanding of language learning, and cultural awareness. The syllabus content is organized into sections on basic communicative proficiency, language awareness, and cultural awareness. It provides linguistic skills and grammar structures for each performance target, which are examples of communicative functions and scenarios. The document emphasizes an integrated approach and developing learner autonomy.
The document discusses the development of a new inspection framework for curriculum by Ofsted. It outlines three purposes: to influence wider thinking on the importance of curriculum; inform inspection policy; and inform policymaking at the Department for Education. It presents a framework to evaluate curriculum intent, implementation, and impact at the national, school, and classroom levels. Early research involves school visits but key terms like "skills" and "enrichment" show varied interpretations. Clarifying language around curriculum design and assessing impact will strengthen the new framework. Schools are encouraged to deeply understand their own curriculum's intent, implementation and effects on pupils.
This document provides an executive summary of the Scottish Teachers for a New Era (STNE) pilot project, which aims to prepare teachers for the 21st century. The summary outlines that the project's strengths include its focus on learning in the early years and peer learning experiences. However, limitations in field experience structure and elective choices created some issues. Feedback was generally positive over time. Communication and clarifying placement goals remain areas for ongoing improvement, as well as monitoring subject knowledge. Partnership working has enhanced the program, and further development is still needed around communication strategies and elective selection.
Universal Design for Learning and the Common Core ELA Standards: Rigorous Rea...Public Consulting Group
The Common Core State Standards (CCSS) for ELA & Literacy make explicit the knowledge and skills that students need to be college and career ready as readers, writers, researchers, presenters and thinkers. The challenge for teachers and administrators is how to support all students to work toward and meet more demanding academic expectations. The Universal Design for Learning (UDL) Framework conceptualizes a means of meeting this challenge. If UDL “habits of design” are incorporated into CCSS English Language Arts (ELA) & Literacy curriculum and instructional practices, we can collectively prepare students to be ready for the rigor of college and careers.

Students are given the opportunity to apply what they have learned in a formal or informal way. You will need to describe what you will do to assess student learning. It can be through guided practice and/or independent practice. Guided practice allows students to demonstrate their understanding of the material while the teacher is present and can provide needed assistance. Independent practice might be group work, projects, or homework.

The document discusses key features of the Philippines' K-12 curriculum for basic education. It aims to be learner-centered, culturally responsive, and competency-based. Some key changes include adding two years to basic education for a total of 12 years, requiring kindergarten, and introducing a new senior high school program. The goals are to better prepare students for employment, higher education, and global competitiveness through an enhanced, decongested curriculum. While implementation challenges exist, supporters believe the reformed system will benefit students long-term.
The document provides details on the Spanish syllabus for the Leaving Certificate in Ireland. It includes the general aims of developing students' communicative competence, language awareness, understanding of language learning, and cultural awareness. The syllabus content is organized into sections on basic communicative proficiency, language awareness, and cultural awareness. It provides linguistic skills and grammar structures for each performance target, which are examples of communicative functions and scenarios. The document emphasizes an integrated approach and developing learner autonomy.
The document discusses the development of a new inspection framework for curriculum by Ofsted. It outlines three purposes: to influence wider thinking on the importance of curriculum; inform inspection policy; and inform policymaking at the Department for Education. It presents a framework to evaluate curriculum intent, implementation, and impact at the national, school, and classroom levels. Early research involves school visits but key terms like "skills" and "enrichment" show varied interpretations. Clarifying language around curriculum design and assessing impact will strengthen the new framework. Schools are encouraged to deeply understand their own curriculum's intent, implementation and effects on pupils.
This document provides an executive summary of the Scottish Teachers for a New Era (STNE) pilot project, which aims to prepare teachers for the 21st century. The summary outlines that the project's strengths include its focus on learning in the early years and peer learning experiences. However, limitations in field experience structure and elective choices created some issues. Feedback was generally positive over time. Communication and clarifying placement goals remain areas for ongoing improvement, as well as monitoring subject knowledge. Partnership working has enhanced the program, and further development is still needed around communication strategies and elective selection.
Universal Design for Learning and the Common Core ELA Standards: Rigorous Rea...Public Consulting Group
The Common Core State Standards (CCSS) for ELA & Literacy make explicit the knowledge and skills that students need to be college and career ready as readers, writers, researchers, presenters and thinkers. The challenge for teachers and administrators is how to support all students to work toward and meet more demanding academic expectations. The Universal Design for Learning (UDL) Framework conceptualizes a means of meeting this challenge. If UDL “habits of design” are incorporated into CCSS English Language Arts (ELA) & Literacy curriculum and instructional practices, we can collectively prepare students to be ready for the rigor of college and careers.

Alien says ‘how do you make a cup of teaBigfish1310
Alien asks how to make a cup of tea, and pupils at the speaker's school will provide step-by-step instructions to help explain the process of making tea. The speaker then offers to make tea for others.
An alien lands on Earth and is invited inside a family's home for a cup of tea. A Tetley's YouTube video shows the proper way to make a cup of tea with their tea bags. Another video provides instructions on how to brew the perfect cup of tea by heating water to the right temperature and steeping the tea bag for the proper amount of time.
The document recommends creating a new subject called Computing to replace Information and Communications Technology (ICT) from Foundation Phase onwards. Computing would disaggregate into two areas: Computer Science and Information Technology. It recommends overhauling the current ICT curriculum, which is outdated and focuses on consumption rather than creation. A new Digital Literacy Framework is also recommended to address digital literacy skills separately from Computing. The recommendations aim to change perceptions of Computing education and careers and make the subject more progressive, industry-relevant and future-proof.

This document provides an overview of wound healing, its functions, stages, mechanisms, factors affecting it, and complications.
A wound is a break in the integrity of the skin or tissues, which may be associated with disruption of the structure and function.
Healing is the body’s response to injury in an attempt to restore normal structure and functions.
Healing can occur in two ways: Regeneration and Repair
There are 4 phases of wound healing: hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. This document also describes the mechanism of wound healing. Factors that affect healing include infection, uncontrolled diabetes, poor nutrition, age, anemia, the presence of foreign bodies, etc.
Complications of wound healing like infection, hyperpigmentation of scar, contractures, and keloid formation.

This document is intended to supplement the Curriculum planning
guidance on the National Literacy and Numeracy Framework (LNF)
by providing further specific information in relation to learners with
particular additional learning needs (ALN).
The Welsh Government intends in the future to replace Part IV of the
Education Act 1996 with new legislation giving a statutory footing
to the concept of ‘additional needs’. However, current terminology
is retained in this document.
This supplementary guidance is intended principally for special schools
and (mainstream) specialist settings for learners who have severe
learning difficulties (SLD) or profound and multiple learning difficulties
(PMLD). It may also be helpful to teachers in primary or secondary
schools who have in their class one or more learners who are not
meeting age-related expectations for Reception.

An inclusive framework
Great care has been taken to ensure that all learners are fully included
in the scope of the LNF. In both literacy and numeracy, the LNF has
been designed to be fully inclusive of the needs of all learners. In each
case, the LNF encompasses the following.

For the overwhelming majority of learners in Wales, the expectations
relating to their age will be appropriate. Although a learner’s current
achievements may be distributed across more than one column,
for example Year 1/Year 2, for different aspects (of literacy) or
elements (of numeracy), progression can nonetheless be planned for
within the age-related expectations for their key stage, for example
Foundation Phase.
In cases where learners (for instance in a Reception class) are not yet
reaching the age-related expectation in some elements or aspects,
and a more individual intervention is required, teachers may find it
helpful to consider the progression statement for that element or
aspect in the ‘C steps’ column of the ‘Routes to literacy’ or ‘Routes to
numeracy’ component of the LNF.
In special schools and specialist settings in mainstream schools,
many learners will be working below the age-related expectations
but most will progress at some point of their school career to
levels of literacy and numeracy skill that are consistent with the
Foundation Phase section of the LNF. A much smaller number will
progress further and begin to apply some of the statements within
the Key Stage 2 section.

However, for many learners with SLD or PMLD, it is the earliest
columns of the LNF in the ‘Routes to literacy’ and ‘Routes to
numeracy’ component which will provide the best guide to
progression for most, or all, of their school careers.
Building on Routes for Learning
The LNF builds on Routes for Learning (RfL), published in 2006 by
the Welsh Assembly Government. The RfL assessment materials
were designed for teachers of learners with profound and multiple
learning difficulties (PMLD).
The RfL routemap consists of 43 items which enable teachers to plan
a suitable progression through early communication and cognitive
skills. As learners move on to the more advanced items of the
routemap, they will begin to achieve those which are shown in the
first column of the LNF. These have been selected to reflect important
early pre-cursors for (literacy) aspects or (numeracy) elements
which appear in subsequent columns of the LNF. The selected items
are shown in the LNF next to their corresponding number on the
routemap, e.g. Selects from two or more items [RfL 36].
Subsequent columns in the LNF (ABC steps) provide progression
statements describing the steps learners may take as they consolidate
and apply their skills and progress towards the levels of performance
described in the Reception column and beyond.
Skills are applied in a range of more specific contexts as learners
progress from more generalised milestones in the RfL routemap
to the ABC steps. Some RfL items therefore appear as the pre-cursor
for multiple elements/aspects of the LNF (as in the example below).
RfL routemap A steps
Shared attention
[RfL 40]
When the adult and the
learner share a stimulus,
the learner can attend to
the stimulus and then the
adult in turn.
Reading across the curriculum
Learners are able to attend with interest as an adult reads a story,
look at, touch and manipulate the book at intervals.
Writing across the curriculum
Learners are able to look at/acknowledge their ‘drawing’ when an
adult talks about what they have done.
Numeracy
Learners are able to show an interest in number activities and
counting with an adult, copy some actions, and/or vocalise at
appropriate moments.

The progression statements show how aspects (literacy) and elements
(numeracy) develop along a continuum for all learners. For learners
with SLD or PMLD, progression from one column of the LNF to the
next column (e.g. ‘A steps’ to ‘B steps’) is likely to require a long
period (for instance, several years). However, small steps of progress
can be planned for within and between progression statements
in the same column as skills are first ‘introduced’ (probably in a
tightly defined context with significant support), consolidated
(with diminishing support) and then applied appropriately across
a wide range of contexts.
For instance, in Oracy across the curriculum, the aspect ‘speaking’ is
exemplified in ‘B steps’ through a number of progression statements.
One of these is ‘use single words/signs/symbols and some two-part
phrases, e.g. to signal repetition or recurrence’. Learners may show
progression in this skill in any of the following ways as they begin
to consolidate and apply it:
• with growing confidence
• for an increasing range of purposes
• in relation to a growing range of materials and resources
• with a range of different people, including peers and adults
• in an increasing range of locations (within and outside the
classroom)
• through words, signs, pictures, symbols or some of these
in combination
• with increasing use of two-part phrases
• with diminishing levels of support leading to proactive and
independent use
• in a growing range of contexts drawn from different areas/subjects
of the curriculum.
Whether learners are working on the RfL routemap, ABC steps or
Foundation Phase columns, it is therefore important that statements
are not simply ‘ticked off’. Teachers will need to observe learners’
current performance and use this information to plan tasks and
experiences which will enable them to further consolidate and apply
their skills. Evidence that a skill is being applied in a range of different
settings across the curriculum needs to be gathered over time before
8. 6
Supplementary curriculum
planning guidance
January 2013
Guidance document no:
092/2013
the skill that is described in a particular progression statement can
be considered an area of strength. If more than one teacher works
with a learner, it is important that all teachers are aware of and can
contribute to an understanding of the learner’s current performance
on the LNF.
Because learners with differing needs will demonstrate their skills
according to the means at their disposal, teachers will need to
use their professional judgement when interpreting progression
statements. For instance, a learner with physical disabilities who
cannot easily manipulate objects may demonstrate their ability to
‘count reliably up to 5 objects’ by eye-pointing to numerals which
are widely spaced (so that the teacher can clearly distinguish the
learner’s response). Alternatively, they may use a switch to choose
a number on a display screen. The same learner may be able to show
they can ‘recite numbers from 1 to 10’ by ordering numerals which
are displayed in random order in a switch-controlled programme on
a computer. The challenge in such cases will be to enable the learner
to apply these skills in a broader range of situations.
‘Assessment activities/things to try’ and ‘things to look for’ are
available to help clarify each progression statement. These provide
examples of possible contexts and learner responses in each case.
Teachers should refer to these when considering what learners can
do. They can be found:
• (for learners working on the routemap) in the ‘Assessment
Booklet’ which forms part of the Routes for Learning materials
• (for learners on ABC steps) in the exemplification materials for
Routes to literacy and Routes to numeracy that will be available
spring 2013.
Learners may well progress at different rates for different elements or
aspects of the LNF. Each learner is likely to show their own individual
‘profile’ and may display varying degrees of competence in different
progression statements – these may spread across more than one
column. There is no requirement for learners to achieve every item
within a column (e.g. all the aspects relating to the ‘B steps’ column
in Oracy across the curriculum) before items in the subsequent
column (‘C steps’) are considered.

A curriculum planning tool
Special schools and specialist settings have always given prominence
within the curriculum to communication and cognitive skills and have
recognised their crucial contribution as the foundations of literacy
and numeracy. Much good practice focuses on these critical skills
and many schools already use the contexts provided by curriculum
areas/subjects as vehicles for introducing, consolidating and applying
these skills. The LNF will encourage schools to further develop this
approach. In some schools, planning may currently be more focused
on addressing literacy and numeracy skills within subject lessons
for English (or Welsh in Welsh-medium schools) and mathematics.
All schools will now need to ensure that opportunities for progression
in literacy and numeracy skills are mapped across all relevant
areas/subjects of the curriculum and that the LNF becomes the
starting point for planning.
An assessment tool
Although primarily a curriculum planning tool, the LNF will also help
teachers to identify the literacy and numeracy skills a learner has
acquired and the ways in which these skills are currently applied in
different situations and contexts across the curriculum. Whatever
the learner’s starting point, the LNF will help teachers to identify
appropriate and achievable next steps along a continuum which is
common to all schools. In special schools and specialist settings, it will
help to inform the targets teachers set, with the learner’s involvement
(to whatever extent this is possible), within their individual education
plans (IEPs).
Formal assessment against the LNF will become a statutory
requirement from September 2014. This means that schools will
have a full academic year to focus on embedding the LNF into their
curriculum planning and their teaching and learning before being
required to assess learners’ progress against it.
Schools should still use the LNF to support Assessment for Learning
(AfL) as part of good teaching practice. This will inform reports to
parents/carers on their child’s progress in literacy and numeracy,
which will still be required on an annual basis from September 2013.
The reports to parents/carers should include information based on the
numeracy and reading tests (if the learner has taken the tests) and a
narrative report on literacy and numeracy based on the LNF.

The section ‘How can we plan for delivery of the LNF?’ and
Appendices 1 and 2 of Curriculum planning guidance together
provide an overview and specific actions to be taken by schools in
order to ensure that the LNF becomes the starting point for their
planning. It is made clear that this is a long-term process and requires
each school or setting to create an action plan for achieving this over
time. A diagram is provided which summarises the steps to be taken.
Planning for the delivery of the LNF
Curriculum implementation
Familiarisation with aims and purpose of LNF.
Awareness of content, expectations and
progression.
Identification of skills within the LNF that
are relevant to individual subject Orders
and statutory frameworks.
Foundation Phase Areas of Learning/national
curriculum subjects are mapped on to the LNF
at appropriate levels.
Recognition that development of literacy
and numeracy skills in context will support
attainment in areas/subjects.
Schemes of work are written for the delivery
of the LNF consisting of sections from
area/subject schemes of work.
Area/subject schemes of work reflect the LNF
scheme of work.
Progression and differentiation are identified
in the LNF schemes of work as they would
be for other areas/subjects.
Senior leadership team (SLT) (and heads of
department) provide timescale and resources
for implementation of LNF.
Training and support is provided for teachers
to support and develop their skills to deliver
the LNF where appropriate in their
area/subject.
Pedagogical approaches may need to be
adapted for consistency across areas/subjects.
LNF coordinators identify any areas of the LNF
that are not covered.
Review of LNF areas that are not covered
by area/subject curricula.
Development of tasks in areas/subjects or
other learning contexts to incorporate these
areas.
Review and development of the LNF is carried
out as part of the school’s action planning,
monitoring and review cycle.

Setting the context
When reviewing their current provision, some special schools and
specialist settings will find the models for developing progressive
long-term plans, presented in Curriculum planning guidance, will also
suit their contexts. In all-age special schools this will entail reviewing
arrangements throughout the 5–14 curriculum.
However, for many schools and settings where learners have SLD or
PMLD, progression is generally managed through medium-term and
short-term planning – especially individual education plans. In these
schools:
• learners begin to develop and apply the skills of literacy and
numeracy significantly later and at a slower pace than their
(typically developing) peers
• classes often include learners of differing ages, drawn from a
number of year groups or even different key stages
• learners’ needs are very diverse within any class, therefore, rather
than reflecting an age-related ‘expectation’, the levels of skill
demonstrated by different learners within a class are likely to span
many columns of the LNF.
These factors present such schools with significant challenges for
curriculum management and they will have adopted a number
of different approaches in response. In order to ensure that their
curriculum is meaningful, relevant and motivating for all learners,
they may currently:
• select content from the Foundation Phase or any key stage within
the curriculum and use it flexibly
• link content from different areas or subjects and present it
thematically
• group learners within the class by ability and provide differentiated
learning outcomes in schemes of work
• bring together learners of differing ages but similar levels of
development for the teaching of key skills (setting learners)
• focus on skills in one part of the school day and topic-based work
at another
• assign a ‘planning’ year to each mixed-age class and use specific
mechanisms to ensure that learners experience progression and
continuity as they move through key stages.

A curriculum for all learners: Guidance to support teachers of learners
with additional learning needs (Welsh Assembly Government, 2010)
provides more detailed guidance on all aspects of planning an
appropriate curriculum.
The first step in creating an action plan will be to consider how
making the LNF the starting point for planning will impact on existing
arrangements for managing the curriculum and whether these
need to be amended in any way. If, for instance, setting or other
discrete approaches to teaching literacy and numeracy are currently
used, or if learners are taught by a number of different teachers,
how will planning for the application of skills across the curriculum
be managed?
The following case study describes one school and the actions being
taken to incorporate the LNF in its planning.

All-age special school
Context
In this school, Red Group is a typical class. It includes learners’
ranging in age from Year 3 to Year 7. In terms of the LNF,
some learners are working to achieve items on the RfL routemap,
several demonstrate skills consistent with the ‘ABC steps’ and
one learner’s skills match statements in Year 1 of the LNF. Their
specific targets are set out in individual education plans.
The school currently has long-term plans which identify relevant
content from Foundation Phase Areas of Learning or national
curriculum subjects. These are used as ‘contexts for learning’,
emphasise breadth and balance, and group content thematically
where relevant. Schemes of work are organised into modules by
year group and term. Although most classes consist of mixed year
groups, modules from a specified year group are used as contexts
for the whole class. For Red Group, the current specified year is
Year 4. The school has in place a mechanism which ensures that
learners experience age-appropriate contexts and do not repeat
the same content in the same way.
Case study
Reviewing current provision against the LNF
Some time has already been spent ensuring that all staff in the
school are familiar with the LNF. Initial discussions have led to
a shared view that current planning for numeracy has been
largely focused on mathematics subject lessons and that the LNF
provides the means to strengthen the application of numeracy
skills within other subjects.
Working together, teachers decide to focus initially on the ‘using
data skills’ elements, identifying where opportunities currently
exist across the curriculum to address them.
Their initial analysis is shown here.

Mapping progression in literacy and numeracy
elements/aspects of the LNF
While mapping these opportunities, teachers consider
progression through the LNF for the ‘Using data skills’
elements, focusing on the most relevant sections of the LNF for
their school (the range from pre-cursors in the RfL routemap
through to the end of the Foundation Phase).
Because of the wide diversity in age and need within classes,
they want to ensure that planned activities incorporate rich
tasks which enable learners with very differing levels of skill
to be introduced to, consolidate, and apply these elements
according to the progression statement which best describes
their current performance.
They assess the extent to which each task facilitates learners
throughout this range and identify adjustments which can be
made to improve some tasks.
In carrying out this process, teachers throughout the school:
• enhance their understanding of progression for these
elements
• reach a shared view about how progression can be
recognised and interpreted in all learners
• identify the need to ensure that learning and teaching
assistants (LTAs) are also able to develop their awareness
and understanding of progression.
The school intends to continue the mapping process for each
planning year and term. Schemes of work will then be reviewed
to ensure that ‘Using data skills’ is appropriately represented
throughout all planning.
In order to manage the review of all elements and aspects of
the literacy and numeracy components of the LNF, the school’s
action plan will focus first on reviewing the planning years
selected for classes to follow in September 2013.

Classroom organisation
The curriculum mapping process will clarify the range of opportunities
which exist for introducing, consolidating and applying the LNF and
will assist teachers in their short-term planning. When tasks are
presented in the classroom, teachers will need to be aware of each
learner’s current profile of skills across all the elements and aspects
of the LNF, and the way in which tasks can be differentiated to
match them.
IEPs will highlight selected elements or aspects which are priorities
for particular learners, including the degree of support they currently
require. IEPs are an important means of communicating this
information between teachers and LTAs so that everyone working
with a learner facilitates in a similar way.
Schools and settings will use a variety of means for capturing
learners’ responses to items targeted in IEPs (e.g. through
sticky-note comments, learner logs or periodic evaluation).
Which ever way(s) they choose to do this, it is essential that all
those working with a particular learner know when and how to
reduce support and increase challenge to ensure both success
and progression.
Where a skill has been introduced and consolidated in one subject
and the priority is now to encourage its application in a wider
range of contexts, this needs to made clear to all those involved.
One possible format for doing this is shown here.

Teachers will be required to report annually to parents/carers about
learners’ progress through the LNF. The report is intended to be
narrative in nature and should highlight a learner’s strengths in
elements/aspects of the LNF, as well as areas for further development.
Schools should now review their reporting arrangements accordingly.
For learners with a statement of special educational needs (SEN),
schools already produce a narrative report about each learner’s overall
progress which is discussed with parents/carers at the learner’s annual
(statement) review meeting. This report may already focus on key
skills. With the introduction of the LNF, the format of the annual
review report may need adjustment to ensure that it meets the new
requirement. The requirement can also be met through an end of
year report, provided that its format supports this.
It is not intended that the report should assign learners to a ‘level’
or that a ‘best-fit’ approach be adopted. There will be no national
data collection in relation to assessments made against the LNF.

The introduction of the LNF provides an opportunity for schools,
including special schools and settings for learners with ALN, to review
their current arrangements for planning the curriculum and consider
what changes they need to make to ensure that:
• all staff (teachers and LTAs) have a clear understanding of
progression through the elements and aspects of the LNF
• learners have appropriate opportunities to develop, consolidate
and apply literacy and numeracy skills in all areas/subjects
• learners’ progress through the LNF is appropriately assessed
and monitored
• all staff working with a learner are aware of their individual
priorities on the LNF and the degree of ‘support’ and/or
‘challenge’ they currently require if they are to succeed
and progress
• parents/carers are informed and understand the way in which their
child is progressing through the LNF.
