  18. Intervention Action based on Base Line data • Diagnostic testing ofall incoming year 8 & 9. • Differentiated curriculum to cater for individual needs. • Wave 3 – 5 (1-on-1) sessions/week of literacy and numeracy for students with greatest needs. • Wave 2 - 2 (1-on-1) sessions/week of literacy and numeracy for students with significant needs. • Special Education teacher support for students with Negotiated Education Plans. • Term 4, 2013 further data collection to review the intervention and plan for further action.

  19. Conclusion We have already learnt from the process and instigated some improvements based on our Action Research including: • extending testing and student support to incorporate all students in Years 3 to 9. • valuing socialisation of the student so that Wave 3 learners now attend all their team’s lesson as well as their support lessons.
