Intended Audience
Teachers of EALD learners in Years 2 to 12
(The focus will be on written language from all curriculum areas)

Description

The Learning English: Achievement and Proficiency (LEAP) Levels is the tool used by teachers to formatively assess the English 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.

2-Day Workshop Focus on written language 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
• confidently assign a LEAP Level and identify language goals.

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

This workshop will take place over 2 full days and the knowledge building is cumulative so participation at both days is required.
