Our Learning and Teaching Structure
All Saints Parish School is a Professional Learning Communicty. A Professional Learning Community puts all their energy into three focus areas:
1. Collaboration
2. Essential Learnings
3. Student Results
Our teachers work in collaborative teams. They identify the essential learnings for numeracy, writing, reading, physical education, science, music and Indonesian. The essential learnings are the curriculum content that are considered to be essential for each student to learn to provide leverage to the next standard. The teachers own the learning of all of the children in their learning centre and meet for two hours each week to discuss the learning needs and progress of all of their children. Mathematics, Writing and Reading are taught in 4 week units. A Common Formative Assessment Test (CFAT) is given to each student at the beginning and end of the teaching unit. The student growth is measured and presented to students and parents as traffic light data.
Tier 1 Intervention:
After analysisng student data and work samples the teachers determine the learning pathway for each individual child for the following week. Students are placed into 3 learning groups according to which "I can" statements they are ready to learn. These decisions are reviewed on a weekly basis. Teachers are allocated to a group.
Tier 2 Intervention:
In addition to the classroom teaching at tier 1, small groups of students are nominated by the collaborative team to attend 30 minute Boost sessions with the Boost teacher. Each learning centre has 3 boost sessions they can access to enhance student learning in Writing, Reading or Numeracy.
Tier 3 Intervention:
We provide a range of Intervention Programs at tier 3 to assist students with learning difficulties in Reading and Mathematics.
These programs extend for 10-20 weeks.
Special Assistance Programs exists to cater for students with special needs. Extension is provided by the classroom teacher for more gifted students, and individual programmes are drawn up for students as required.
Reading Recovery – Year 1
Reading Recovery is a one-on-one reading intervention program designed to accelerate reading and writing development.
Gillon Program – Year F/1
The Gillon Program is a Phonological Awareness Program used from Foundation to Year 2 to enhance knowledge of letter sounds.
TOE BY TOE – Year 1/2
A phoneme and syllable sounding program.
MINILIT – Year 1/2
MiniLit is an evidence-based, effective early literacy program. It is a practical, systematic, explicit and effective model for teaching reading skills.
