  2. Creating the PLT • Focused on what the student can do ‘Don’t should on the kids’ • Group of 6, meet for an hour • Across year levels and disciplines • Regular meetings x 2 term (5 weeks) • Follow the format for the sessions • Willingness to discuss strategies and challenge ideas • Come prepared – bring evidence/ideas • Accountable to the group • PLT log for every students – evidence for next time

  3. Format of the sessions • Identify the levels for study commonalities across students • The levels describe what they need to learn consider, discuss for some common understanding • Decide where you want to take them goal setting • Discuss how they might be taught comprehensionStrategies • With what? Support/resources • How long will you work on this? timeline • Review the progress gather evidenceWhat are the students making, saying, writing and doing? What inferences can I draw from these and the data – challenge these inferences so that teachers discuss more deeply and justify ideas

  5. What to look for… • Differentiation of instruction in the classroom • Knowing what did work and didn’t work and having evidence of this • Identifying where we don’t know what to do and taking action to find out • Small group consensus

  13. How do you monitor student progress? Checklist, rubric, monitoring grid How are you gathering evidence? Work samples, video footage, teach it to someone else, presentation, create questions, capacity matrix, self assess against criteria Gathering evidence
