Yarrilee Whole School Support Program
Our Whole School Support Framework is a model to ensure that
students receive the time and support they need to be successful.
It includes clear checkpoints to assess the extent to which
all students are learning. When these checkpoints suggest that students are not
responding to instruction, we commence a
smooth process of determining what
supplemental intervention may be necessary
to ensure that students begin responding as soon as possible. This
approach involves all year levels, support staff, teachers and teacher aides to
assist our students to develop to their full potential.
- Our teachers deliver and differentiate instruction. They
assess students regularly to ensure they are achieving curriculum standards,
help diagnose to identify misconceptions in understanding to determine a
specific area of need, monitor student progress to ensure that supports are
working and communicate this information to other staff.
- Our Support Teachers Literacy and Numeracy provide support to
teachers regarding the differentiation of their class programs and also assist
teachers in the analysis of classroom data.
Our Support Teachers Literacy and Numeracy ( STLAN’s) support identified students in both short
term support and intensive intervention
programs in Oral Language, Literacy and
Numeracy.
- Our Students with Disabilities (SWD) Teachers provide support
to teachers regarding the differentiation of their class programs and assist
teachers in modifying assessment tasks. Our SWD Teachers support identified
students in Literacy and Numeracy disability support programs including
focussed and intensive support.
- Teacher Aides help provide supplemental support to students
and provide feedback regarding observations of student progress
- We work collaboratively with clinicians when relevant to apply
their recommendations to enhance learning access and success.
-The Leadership Team oversee the Whole School Support Framework
to ensure that we achieve our vision to “Develop the Whole Child through a
creative, curious, capable, connected and caring community”.
