LEAP Levels Assessment for Learning (Years 2-12) – Term 2
Intended Audience:
Teachers of EALD learners in Years 2 to 12. The focus will be on written language from all curriculum areas.
Context:
The Learning English: Achievement and Proficiency (LEAP) Levels is the tool used by teachers to formatively assess the Standard Australian English (SAE) proficiency of EALD students using written (and oral) language evidence from all curriculum areas. It is aligned with the Australian Curriculum Literacy progressions and allows teachers to identify what the learners know and what they need to learn next, and to track progression.
Also, all schools that intend submitting EALD data for CESA funding allocations need to ensure that teachers who conduct EALD assessments have participated in relevant professional learning about how to use the LEAP Levels.
2 Day Workshop Focus on written language:
- Preparatory work for the first session will be communicated to participants prior to Day 1
- Build knowledge about the language/grammar of the LEAP Levels 6-12
- Apply this knowledge through guided, collaborative, and independent use of the LEAP Levels to assess writing samples and identify learning goals
* NB - If you need to learn about assessing oral language of students in Reception and Year 1, CLICK HERE to register for the R-2 session on Friday 25 March 2022.
