  1. Embedding Literacy and Numeracy Otago Polytechnic 2011

  3. Resources

  4. Embedded courses must have: • Explicit learning outcomes for literacy and numeracy • A literacy and numeracy diagnostic assessment • Deliberate teaching of literacy and numeracy • Assessment of learner progress in literacy and numeracy

  5. Our approach: • Developed literacy and numeracy module in Graduate Certificate in Teaching and Learning (GCTLT) • Developed a bank of resources for staff to access in Moodle • Created L&N Champions in every school • Provided further professional development opportunities

  27. Gains – Whole Polytechnic

  28. Gains!!

  29. Issues Students not turning up for assessments and reassessments http://www.flickr.com/photos/gluglondon/4768190942/

  30. Issues continued… • Students not making an effort for the reassessment. • Results in negative gains – students going backwards? http://www.flickr.com/photos/familymwr/4928600773/

  31. Conclusions • On average about 15% of students make gains in L&N (regardless of deliberate attempts by us?) • We are yet to find out what TEC expect from us. Is this figure acceptable to them?
