Teach Scenario
Step 1: Assessment and Planning
The Kindergarten Teacher, Anna, starts by assessing the needs of her students in Term 1, collecting data on their progress through weekly Direct Instruction reports. This early assessment helps identify any students who may require additional support.
Step 2: Transition Planning and Review
In Term 2, the Head of Campus and Kindergarten Director collaborate to develop the Transition to School Plan, ensuring a smooth transition for all students. At the beginning of Term 3, Anna reviews the Transition to School Plan along with the Instruction Coach, assessing its effectiveness in addressing student needs.
Step 3: Parent Engagement and Individualised Planning
In Term 4, Anna and the school leadership team engage with parents of kindergarten students identified with concerns or disabilities. They discuss support strategies, student development and potential learning issues or disabilities, determining whether an Individualised Plan is necessary for the student’s academic success.
Step 4: Implementation and Monitoring
Anna delivers instruction to her class, incorporating the Individualised Plans as needed to support students with diverse learning needs. Throughout the term, she monitors student progress, conducts tests and produces Student Data Reports to track growth. The Instruction Coach provides feedback on the implementation of adjustments during classroom observations, ensuring that students receive effective support tailored to their individual requirements.
