The document provides guidance for schools to evaluate how effectively their literacy approaches meet the needs of students achieving below expectations. It instructs schools to use an inquiry cycle to reflect on multiple information sources. Schools are encouraged to start with an inquiry question, review the rubrics, and decide where they fall along a continuum for each rubric using supporting evidence. Sample inquiry questions evaluate how schools accelerate progress for different student groups and ensure shared understanding of expectations. Schools are also prompted to consider their literacy intervention programs and how effectively they choose approaches to support below level students.

EPT429 Research Summary
This research aims to understand the gap in literacy levels between Indigenous and non-Indigenous students in Australia. The researcher created a questionnaire to gather opinions from industry professionals on why this gap exists and how teacher training and government funding schemes have addressed this issue. The questionnaire was distributed by email to teachers, education organization employees, and teacher aides. The responses indicated that most participants were aware of lower literacy scores for Indigenous students on NAPLAN assessments. While some funding is provided to schools, respondents displayed limited knowledge of specific programs supported. Many felt programs like Multi-Lit and Mini-Lit have helped when implemented consistently. Most participants believed they did not have adequate opportunities to further their skills in teaching Indigenous students literacy.

Ryedale Federation
The document discusses strategies to support disadvantaged students. It notes that consistent high-quality teaching, a focus on literacy and numeracy skills, targeted interventions monitored through data, and deploying effective staff are important. Individual barriers must be identified early and transition from primary school should address skills gaps. Disadvantaged students should have high profiles, opportunities to develop aspirations, and advice on pathways. Effective parent links should also be established. Funding must be strategically coordinated. There is no single solution and a range of evidence-based strategies tailored to individual schools and students are needed.
Rti For Cec
This document discusses considerations for implementing Response to Intervention (RTI) models with culturally and linguistically diverse students. It emphasizes that Tier 1 instruction must be culturally responsive and include ongoing progress monitoring. Tier 2 interventions should be individualized and provided by teachers with expertise in English language acquisition. A Child Study Team should collect diverse data to determine how to alter a student's support and develop new instructional objectives. An effective RTI model ensures culturally and linguistically diverse students receive opportunities to learn through high-quality, culturally responsive instruction and support at each tier.
Geoff Dubber, Rite of Passage: Library Transition and Induction P6/7 - S1
The document discusses strategies for effectively inducting and transitioning students from primary to secondary school, with a focus on the role of the library and librarian. It recommends gathering information about students' previous library experiences, establishing links between primary and secondary school teachers and curricula, and providing orientation activities to familiarize new students with library resources and procedures. Suggested induction activities include classroom introductions, summer visits, and distributing materials to help students navigate the new school environment. The goal is to welcome students and ease the social and academic changes of moving to secondary school through collaboration between libraries and schools.

Unfinished: Insights From Ongoing Work to Accelerate Outcomes for Students Wi...
Despite some gains over the past 20 years, significant numbers of students are not meeting grade-level expectations as defined by performance on academic assessments. Meanwhile, few schools are able to support the sort of accelerated academic learning needed to catch students up to grade-level expectations.
Evidence indicates this is not for lack of educator commitment or dedication. Instead, many educators lack clarity about how to help students catch up. Common messages about holding a high bar for academic rigor and personalizing learning to meet students where they are can be perceived as being at odds with one another.
“Unfinished: Insights From Ongoing Work to Accelerate Outcomes for Students With Learning Gaps” synthesizes a broad body of research on the science of learning in order to inform efforts to help students close gaps and meet grade-level expectations. This deck argues that helping students catch up is not about rigor or personalization — classrooms need both.
Closing learning gaps requires students to be motivated and engaged to grapple with challenging, grade-level skills and knowledge — while also having their individual learning needs met.
The report identifies what must happen among educators, systems-level leaders, teacher developers, instructional materials providers, and technology experts to move beyond the dichotomy of “rigor versus personalization” and toward a future that effectively blends the two.

Self review tool for schools
- 2. Support the inquiry cycle used by schools with a specific focus on how effectively their literacy approaches and strategies meet the needs of students achieving below curriculum expectations in literacy. Rubrics are intended to help English-medium schools reflect on and use a variety of information sources to answer for themselves the evaluative questions set out in the 10 rubrics.
- 4. Start with the Core Concept (inquiry question). Check the Quick start guide P 20 as to how you could approach the rubric. Decide where your school may fit at this point in time using the continuum. You will need to think about supporting evidence.
- 5. Question 1 & 2: How well are we accelerating our students achieving below curriculum expectations in literacy, really? What does the accelerated progress pattern look like for boys compared to girls? For Māori and Pasifika students? For English language learners? For students with special learning needs and those considered "transient‟? Who is getting "left behind‟?
- 6. Question 3 & 4: To what extent is there a clear shared understanding across the school (and with students and their parents/whānau) about expectations for accelerated progress? How many students do we have who we would describe as "achieving below curriculum expectations in literacy‟? Who are they? What do we know about them?
- 7. Unfavourable Highly effective Reasons for your placement? Now check against the rubric.
- 8. Question 1 & 2 What intervention programmes are currently operating in your school for students achieving below curriculum expectations in literacy? (based on what evidence or observations) How effectively and appropriately does your school choose cost –effective mix of approaches and interventions for students achieving below curriculum expectations in literacy?
- 9. Unfavourable Highly effective Reasons for your placement? Now check against the rubric.
- 10. In groups discuss the differences in perspectives on effectiveness.
