Editor's Notes

  1. It spent a couple of years in draft.Key features/messages:Underpinned by three frameworks BoS Syllabuses; QT Framework; Four Literacy Resources (Four Roles of the Reader)Teachers K-12, across all key learning areas, are responsible for the teaching and learning of literacy skills, knowledge and understandings.Literacy should be taught in an explicit and systematic way that is balanced and integratedAs a result the following document was created to explain how to teach in an explicit and systematic way that is balanced and integrated show next slide
  2. So it explains how to teach in an explicit and systematic way that is balanced and integratedAs well as:Explaining the 8 critical aspectsPutting Literacy in the context of early, middle and later years of schoolThe Four Literacy ResourcesModelled/Guided/Independent strategiesICTNAPLANClassroom diversity
  3. Reference to Shirleys earlier presentation.
  4. As well as teaching strategies theres information on supporting:Students with learning difficultiesAboriginal studentsESL studentsStudents from low socio-economic backgroundsThe plan was to eventually produce documents for each of the aspects.No word as to whether this will still happen as the continuum is now interactive with strategies attached well have a look at this.
  5. Different to K-2 in terms of here it is only one cluster per gradePhonic/Phonemic awareness/Concepts about print stop Why? Next slide
  6. The 7-10 Continuum is currently in draft form.
  7. At this point Curriculum Support can still be googled but not sure for how much longer so:Start on the Intranet home pageClick on Curriculum resources on the top tagsClick on Curriculum and learning innovation centre (first listing)Click on Learning and teaching at the topClick Curriculum policies on the right (from here a number of ways to get to Curriculum SupportClick Literacy Policy on the leftGo through Interactive Continuum including clicking on pdf for strategies. (K-6 at the moment but 7-10 will be added and will look the same.)
  8. Both programs reference:An Introduction to Quality Literacy TeachingExplicit/Systematic/Balanced/IntegratedFour Literacy Resources (Four Roles of the Reader)Modelled/Guided/IndependentFoR 3-6 Comprehension/Reading texts/Vocabulary knowledgeLiteracy on Track the whole continuum
  9. From Cluster 9 on there is only one cluster per grade so teachers need to use their syllabus documents to plan the smaller steps and track student progress.
