Welcome to William Dean Public School Our School ‘Our school prides itself on the extent and quality of its teaching and learning programs in all key learning areas, its caring approach to students and its innovative programs in Literacy and Numeracy.’
Best Start • Best Start is a NSW Government initiative to ensure our youngest students are on track in Literacy and Numeracy by Year 3. • Best Start Kindergarten Assessment, Kindergarten teachers observe and record the knowledge, skills and understanding that each child brings to Kindergarten. • Results inform the development of quality Literacy and Numeracy teaching and learning programs. • Feedback is provided to parents on what their child can do, and how they can best assist their child’s learning. • Kindergarten teachers complete the student assessments in Term 1 of the school year.
Best Start Targeted Early Numeracy (TEN) Intervention Program The TEN intervention program provides support for students experiencing difficulty in learning numeracy in the early years. TEN is implemented in a normal daily lesson block, without withdrawal or an additional specialist teacher. It recognises that a small percentage of students are at risk of failure, despite participation within a quality numeracy program.
