  8. What’s all this about literacy? • The majority of accounting achievement standards contribute to the NCEA literacy requirement. • That’s all Level 1 except processing and reporting. • At Level 2 and 3 the processing and reporting standards get the nod for numeracy. • Remaining Level 2 and 3 achievement standards contribute to the NCEA literacy requirement.

  9. Then there’s university entrance • From 2014 AS 91407 is the winner here • Success in the annual report standard provides students with 5 credits in writing so they don’t need another standard • Alternatively it can contribute to 5 credits in reading if students have writing and not reading credits • AS 91404 also contributes to reading, but this is external and 4 credits

  10. Literacy and language demands • Language is fundamental to thinking and learning. • Reading, writing, speaking, listening, viewing/visual skills and the skills required to communicate information in a range of subject-specific forms, can be thought of as an interactive tool set or kete students need to acquire.

  11. Literacy is a shared responsibility • All teaching and learning activities use language. • To understand language students need to be literate. • This requires all teachers to be teachers of language and literacy.

  12. Sharing the love • One challenge for us is that we often think literacy and language is implicit. • To succeed students require explicit teaching of both content and literacy; language and language knowledge and skills in each learning area. Content, language and literacy are intertwined. • What deliberate acts can you undertake?

  13. Where should literacy start? • Like a,b,c and do rei me at the very beginning • Actively engage students in literacy tasks • Consider how many income statements and balance sheets your students do in a level 1, or even level 2 or 3 year? • How many treasurer’s reports did they write before the assessment? • How many paragraphs did they write before they sat concepts or interpretation externals?

  14. Encouraging your students to write • Require each student to have a 1B5 exercise book or other note book that stays in your classroom • Let’s apply an A, M and E criteria to this: • What are they going to write? • Why in the classroom? • How is it going to help? Going forward.

  15. Have your students own the learning • Give them a question to respond to • Let them chose the business they will write their concepts about • 1 to 2 to 4 to … • Conversations can be equally important • Use a 1-10 quick quiz regularly • Repeat, repeat, repeat – be like a stuck record!

  16. Model Excellence – Accounting In Accounting (Level 2 and 3): • Achievement – describe and apply • Merit – apply and explain • Excellence – explain and justify Try WHs – what, who, where, how, why, why and why again The final why is going forward/consequences – so what?

  17. Providing a structure for evidence • While Excellence students might be able to provide Excellence evidence without assistance, other students may need graphic organisers, writing frames or other structures around which to provide evidence • Students need to know what they have to do, why they have to do that, and how they will know they have been successful • Don’t be afraid to differentiate

  18. What evidence? • Check the conditions of assessment – go past individual writing – can students present evidence orally? in groups?

  19. Accounting examples • Level 1 detailed explain for analysis and interpretation • Treasurer’s report brain storm • Level 2 Accounts Receivable • (Chiefs) Rugby Ball analogy • Level 3 internals

  20. Brain storm – class or group Treasurer’s report • Divide the board/large piece of newsprint in half • Students contribute financial and non-financial information • Draw arrows to show the links • Keep asking why? • Why for the future of the club? • Students can then write up their own report

  21. Reflection • How might I apply this in my teaching? • How might I contextualise this for my students?

  22. Thank you • Please complete your evaluation before you leave this afternoon. • I trust you have learned something.
