How was you school selected?
It’s all about delivering measurable and sustainable improvement in
literacy and numeracy achievement for all students especially those
children who need additional help.
If your school chooses to participate it will receive funding and
support to identify and implement evidence-based interventions that
complement and strengthen your commitment to improving your
students’ literacy and numeracy achievement.

What does a case-management approach mean?
This means using available data to identify individual student or groups
of students learning needs so that teachers can effectively differentiate
instruction to build on and extend each student’s literacy and/or
numeracy skills.
A case-management approach allows school leadership to narrow their
focus and then to accountably plan; whether this be to direct instruction
selection or resource allocation.

A case-management approach can be achieved by:
•
setting realistic targets for the next stage of learning;
•
identifying and planning learning and teaching support to help students
achieve their literacy and/or numeracy targets and learning goals, and to
overcome barriers to learning;
•
being inclusive of students’ cultural, social and academic considerations;
•
encouraging all teachers in the school to take collective responsibility for all
students;
•
ensuring consistent review of the data and updated information on students’
progress;
•
using data to inform the ‘next steps’ for meeting the needs of each student
and ‘next steps’ for meeting the professional development needs of the
teachers within the school;
•
providing leadership that ensures consistent information, communication,
coordination and care for students is available to
the school community; and
