3. Literacy and Numeracy Improvement Policy statement 2 • Student monitoring and assessment • Standard Australian English (SAE) literacy and numeracy achievement of individual students is regularly monitored against the expectations of the T-9 Net and NAPLAN data. • The monitoring and assessment of English as an additional language (EAL) learners’ literacy and numeracy achievement takes into account their linguistic and cultural backgrounds. • Note:the NT ESL levels continue to provide specialised information about assessment, monitoring and target setting for EAL/D learners.

4. The T-9 Net consists of reading, writing, oral language and numeracy continua that describe minimum expectations for what students need to know and be able to do year by year from Transition to Year 9. T-9 Net description

5. T-9 Net – its purpose • The T-9 Net: • is not a curriculum • helps teachers identify those students not achieving age-expected literacy and numeracy learning goals • informs teachers’ instructional decisions to target or address gaps or delay in students’ learning.

6. Monitoring to inform instruction Breakthrough strategies at the classroom level involve a shared and clear moral purpose that is supported by three core elements: Personalisation creating tailored teaching plans that consider each student’s learning and motivational needs 2. Precision using data to inform instructional practice 3. Professional learning focused ongoing learning for each and every teacher The use of the T-9 Net contributes to the Precision element through linking information about student learning to instruction.
