1. Teacher planning

Teachers plan for student learning using the curriculum or syllabus documents, which describe:

• the content that must be taught in a year or stage

• the processes that students need to use whilst using maths 

• how to apply maths skills in numeracy

• what students need to achieve.

Read and interpret teacher planning documents

Each school will provide their own documentation for tracking students’ learning and progress. Some students may have an Individual Learning Plan (ILP) or Individual Education Plan (IEP) to support certain or all areas of their learning. The importance of this documentation is that it provides the student and other relevant stakeholders, a guide to the student’s academic progress, including which learning strategies worked best for them and their areas of strength.

The plan is in-line with the curriculum, with devised strategies that support learning of the individual. The school Learning and Support Team (LST) plays a key role in ensuring that the specific needs of students with disability and additional learning and support needs are met. While the plan is designed by the LST, it is completed as a mutual collaboration between the teacher and education support staff (who will need to provide information back to the teacher regarding progress and details for ongoing learning). It is inclusive of learning for the National Assessment Program – Literacy and Numeracy (NAPLAN) assessment.
