  2. Region • Visited 30 school PLTS • Focussed on secondary ones • PLTS based on: • KLAS • Classes i.e. 7A teachers • Literacy or numeracy • Areas i.e. Early years • All staff included in a PLT/ only some staff • Infrequent meetings

  3. Recommendations end of 2009 • That the Principal actively plans for PLT implementation • Staff join a PLT that is related to the bulk of their teaching load • PLT composition be a top priority in organising allotments • Occur frequently

  4. School 39 PLTS in 2009 • Like a working party • Very large (15 people) • Met weekly • Personalised learning • Literacy • Numeracy • Not related to teaching subjects or timetable • Half doing AIZ work half doing VELS continuum

  5. School 39 PLTS in 2010 • Major teaching area is your PLT • Frequent meetings i.e. every week • Early years • Middle years 5-7, 8 and a 9 • Later years year 10, pathways and VCE • Literacy and numeracy • Student engagement • Instrumental music

  6. Structure and support • Very active school improvement team • Two leading teachers have PLT organisation as part of their responsibility • PLT leaders are generally leading teachers • PLT members teach a major part of their allotment in the PLT area • Teaching and learning coach term 2 onwards

  7. Issues • Understanding of the purpose of PLT • Role of the PLT leader • No time allowance for PLT leaders’ work • Data interpretation • Which tests should be used and how frequently? • Secondary teachers’ understanding of literacy and numeracy strategies • Change in teaching strategies as a result of data • Differentiating the curriculum • Lack a group to report to or to support them

  8. Solution • Assume nothing!!! • Link it to the curriculum planning • Provide training and support for the PLT leaders • Give the role the respect it deserves • Work on a common agenda, minutes protocol etc • Take the time to get it right
