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 monitor progress.

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.

This 2-day face-to-face workshop will support teachers to:

• know the structure and elements of the LEAP Levels 6-12,
• understand how language patterns make meaning in texts,
• identify language features in texts and
• confidently assign a LEAP Level.

This workshop will take place over 2 days and participation at both days is required.

21 February @ CEO Conference Centre Rooms 7 & 8
29 February @ Hotel Royal, Torrensville

Preparatory work for the first session will be communicated to participants prior to Day 1.
