Focus Area One Success for all Students

WHAT WE WILL DO: Implement age appropriate and targeted instruction in Numeracy

What Occurred in 2022:

The Esperance Instructional Framework, ‘Engage, Learn and Reflect’ was utilised by all staff with a strong focus on the development of well written Learning Intentions and Success Criteria.

Origo ‘Stepping Stones’ continued to be used to support our whole school approach to teaching numeracy in 2022. The main priority for our staff was to consolidate the teaching of numeracy using the Origo Scope and Sequence and supporting resources.

The Numeracy Coach assisted and supported all staff to ensure quality differentiation in the of teaching numeracy and their use of the quarterly assessments, as well as whole school approaches in calculate strategies and problem solving.

JEMM+ was embedded and resourced in the Dolphin Cove Learning Team to support identified ‘at risk students’ in the development of mathematical skills and concepts.

Recommendations for 2023

• Continue to strengthen the EPS Instructional Framework in Mathematics lessons to ensure less teacher variability and increased consistency of Whole School Approaches to teaching Numeracy.

• With the success of NAPLAN Numeracy for Years 3 and 5 in 2022, continue to consolidate the use of Origo Stepping Stones as the primary teaching resource to support our Whole School Approach to teaching Numeracy.

• Resource and provide support for teaching of split classes to assist with the delivery of Origo Stepping Stones.

• Ongoing investigation of SAER intervention for at risk identified students by the Maths Committee.
