Improved literacy outcomes

A teacher, who is also the co-ordinator of individual learning, analyses student assessment data with a colleague from the school's primary campus. The analysis of the school's NAPLAN data indicates that there are opportunities to improve student literacy standards in the area of persuasive writing. Together, they explore a range of whole-school strategies whereby learning achievement standards can be improved through teaching and learning. These strategies include the use of consistent approaches to assessment.
