Module 5D: Learning and Teaching PERSONALISED LEARNING PLANS As a result of participating in this module, you will: Increase your understanding of the role and purpose of a Personalised Learning Plan (PLP) Review components of the Intervention Framework to assist in planning the PLP (i.e. use of data, the three- tiered model of support, SMART goals, scaffolding) Overview of Modules
Overview of Modules Module 5E: Learning and Teaching ROLE OF LEARNING SUPPORT OFFICERS As a result of participating in this module, you will: • Clarify the role and expectations of Learning Support Officers (LSOs) • Be familiar with the CECV resource, Effective Practices for Learning Support Offices (2012)
Module 6 EVALUATION As a result of participating in this module, you will: Evaluate the effectiveness of the Intervention Framework in guiding your school through the process of: Identifying students with additional learning needs; Assessing students with additional learning needs; Analysing & interpreting the data collected; Designing & carrying out the teaching; and Evaluating& monitoring the student’s progress and the effectiveness of the teaching. Overview of Modules
Case Study Each school will identify 1 - 2 students who have additional learning needs in both literacy or numeracy.
Spend some timereflecting on your own approaches to, or philosophy of, teaching by working through the ‘Essential Components’ rubric. Activity
1. All students can succeed 2. Effective schools enable a culture of learning 3. Effective teachers are critical to student learning success 4. Teaching and learning are inclusive 5. Inclusive schools actively engage and work in partnership with the wider community 6. Fairness is not sameness 7. Effective teaching practices are evidence-based Core Principles
Discuss with a partner or small group: Which of these principles is currently the most relevant to your work priorities? In what ways does your school or classroom currently operate within these beliefs? Which of the elements of the beliefs seem to be the most difficult to achieve? Why might that be the case? Many factors go into creating an effective learning environment for students. What role does an educator’s mindset play in creating this environment? Activity
What is RtI? • RtI is the practice of providing high-quality instruction/intervention matched to student needs and using learning rate over time and level of performance to make important educational decisions. National Association of State Directors of Special Education Policy Guide
RtI Core Principles • We can effectively teach all children • Intervene early • Use a multi-tier model of service delivery • Use a problem-solving methodology • Monitor student progress to inform instruction • Use research-based, scientifically validated interventions/instruction • Use data to make decisions • Use assessments for (1) screening; (2) diagnostics; (3) progress monitoring
Tier One: Core Instructional Interventions • Research-based core instructional programs provided by the general education teacher • Proactive group interventions are implemented for all students • Decisions should be responsive to student performance and need (progress monitoring)
Tier Two: Targeted Group Interventions • For those students for whom Tier One instruction is insufficient • Supplement, enhance and support Tier One instruction • Generally provided in a small group setting over 8-12 weeks
Tier Three: Intensive, Individual Interventions • Intensive, strategic, supplemental and often longer in duration • Might be synonymous with special education • Interventions based on outcomes
RtI & Problem-Solving Process • Identifying what the student knows, what he/she should know and areas to target for instruction • Developing an intervention plan • Implementing the plan • Monitoring student progress • Evaluating, reviewing, and revising the plan
Align the framework with current school practice… Using large blank triangles (with divisions), map what is currently the interventions occurring in your school. Activity
Read one or more of the articles listed in the handout. Identify how an intervention approach would assist you in achieving the goals and challenges you identified at the beginning of this module. Between Modules’ Activity
