The Student Progress Tool for Spelling Mastery assists schools doing schoolwide implementations of the McGraw Hill Spelling Mastery programs. This tool is just one of the many tools GGSA develops to assists schools in their school improvement initiatives.

It enables schools to record and track lessons for Spelling Mastery programs A to F, enabling teachers to systematically record and track:

Students’ daily attendance.
Daily lesson progress with a weekly lesson summary.
Individual student’s Independent Work scoring.
Individual student’s assessment.

The completed data sheets can easily be reviewed weekly by the school’s instructional leadership, enhancing their ability to support their teachers and students by using school wide data sets.

They easily identify which groups or individuals are meeting or exceeding standards and which students or groups may need additional support to succeed. They can also use this data to start to pinpoint which teachers may need additional support in delivering the program and in what areas.

The professional learning module Teach Spelling Mastery A-F includes a lesson on how to use the Student Progress Tool for Spelling Mastery and the tool itself includes instructions. If you need further assistance, contact info@goodtogreatschools.org.au

About Direct Instruction

It combines explicit teaching with a sequenced curriculum and assessment tools.

Uniquely grouping students by skill rather than age or year, it ensures personalised and effective progression for every learner.[/et_pb_text][/et_pb_column][/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_2,1_2″ make_equal=”on” module_class=”cmreverse” _builder_version=”4.22.2″ _module_preset=”default” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.22.2″ _module_preset=”default” header_2_text_color=”#177e99″ header_2_font_size=”32px” header_2_line_height=”1.3em” custom_margin=”||0px||false|false” header_2_font_size_tablet=”32px” header_2_font_size_phone=”26px” header_2_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” global_colors_info=”{}”]

It’s proven particularly effective for students from disadvantaged, marginalised, or minority backgrounds, helping schools elevate to ‘Fair’ and ‘Good’ standards[/et_pb_text][/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https://ggsalms-adcb73eab18b8a8d61b7-endpoint.azureedge.net/blobggsalmsb84af022bf/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/6a574ccd8e7e28b9217a807d77310d7f.jpeg” alt=”Teacher sitting at a table with students explaining a concept using Explicit Direct Instruction methods” title_text=”6a574ccd8e7e28b9217a807d77310d7f” _builder_version=”4.23.4″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin_tablet=”||30px||false|false” custom_margin_phone=”||30px||false|false” custom_margin_last_edited=”on|phone” global_colors_info=”{}”][/et_pb_image][/et_pb_column][/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_2,1_2″ make_equal=”on” _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https://ggsalms-adcb73eab18b8a8d61b7-endpoint.azureedge.net/blobggsalmsb84af022bf/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/834310cc16718db755cf834b9f704703.jpeg” alt=”Teacher standing at a table with students explaining a concept using Explicit Direct Instruction methods” title_text=”834310cc16718db755cf834b9f704703″ _builder_version=”4.23.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][/et_pb_image][/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.22.2″ _module_preset=”default” text_text_color=”#181818″ text_font_size=”21px” text_line_height=”1.4em” link_text_color=”#181818″ global_colors_info=”{}”]Direct Instruction is ideal for regional, remote, and small mixed-grade schools, particularly those rated ‘Poor’ to ‘Fair’, where low-performing students often study.

It caters to complex student needs, from foundational reading skills to more advanced learning for older students who may have missed key knowledge in earlier years.

This approach is also beneficial in schools with high teacher turnover, offering new educators well-structured, scripted materials and data monitoring tools for ongoing improvement.[/et_pb_text][/et_pb_column][/et_pb_row][/et_pb_section]
