Intended Audience
Teachers of EALD Learners in Years R-1 or 2
Description
The Learning English: Achievement and Proficiency (LEAP) Levels is the tool used by teachers of EALD learners to formatively assess the Standard Australian English (SAE) proficiency of EALD students. It is aligned with the Australian Curriculum Literacy progressions and is used to assess oral and written language from all curriculum areas. It allows teachers to identify what the learner knows 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 one-day workshop will focus on:
- building knowledge about the language/grammar of the LEAP Levels 1-6 language [oral and early writing],
- applying this knowledge through guided, collaborative and independent use of the LEAP Levels to assess samples of language and identify learning goals and
- oral language and early/emergent writing.
Preparatory work for the first session will be communicated to participants prior to Day 1
