The Role of a Numeracy PLT
PROGRAM
Session 1: The Role of a Numeracy PLT Session 2: A Process for Studying Lessons
Session 3: Trialing a Common Framework
Learning with understanding
327 + 431 =• Tell me about the answer
• How many digits will it have?• Will it be an even/odd number?• Will it be divisible by 5?• Will it be divisible by 2?• Will it be closer to 500 or 1000?
AGENDA9 -9.15 Warm Up
9 .15 – 9.45 Recap/Movement since S1-4 2009
9.45 – 11.00 PLTs – What are they? Issues to clarify
Some PLT models to consider11.00 – 11.30 MT
11.30 -1.00 A PLT model Jack and Blake
The purpose of this session is for participants to:
• brief recap/feedback on 2009 AiZ outputs
• consider the role and purpose of a Numeracy PLT
• discuss how a Numeracy PLT might function
• examine some issues that may impact on a Numeracy PLT’s effectiveness
• experience a Numeracy PLT conversation
Recap 2009
The Whole School Numeracy PlanThe documents behind the plan
•Annual Assessment plan
•PLT Learning logs
•Numeracy timetable for each year
•Common weekly planning document
•Common numeracy lesson template
•ILPs
•PD plan semester/annual
•PLT documents
•Peer obs., coaching/mentoring docs
What does a Numeracy PLT do?

WHAT DOES A NUMERACY PLT DO?
Results from Group Bundling activity
• Analyse data & evidence of st lrng to moderate & coll decide what st needs to lrn next• Use data to plan nxt stage of developmnt for ind & cohorts of st.• Evidence based practice – use data to inform practice• Discuss challeng/devlop ped beliefs/underst to improve tch practice to enhance st
lrng• Meet to identify lrng needs of lw, mid & high cohort gps• Identify/analyse data to measure, scaffold & review st lrng• Discuss/interpret st data• Targetting ideas that scaff st lrng & challenging evidence• Analyse data to target, track & set goals for st lrng• Share/discuss ideas & challenge current practices• Feedback to discuss set goals• Identify/ share PD for the group• Aligning PD with the sch direction• Review & develop resources for classroom tchs• Develop collective response for all st
Consider how a Numeracy PLT differs from these other team
meetings• Whole staff meeting
• Area/Level meeting
• Maths Curriculum Committee meeting
• Grounds/Integration/Gifted/Welfare…team meetings
Issues for Numeracy PLT meetings
• Literacy or Numeracy• Frequency of meetings• Length of meetings• Team size• Team leader• Peer accountability• Choice of Assessment tools • Agenda/structure for the meeting
Role of PLT Team Leader
• Keep the PLT focus
• PD the team
• Mentor
• Ensure challenge not ‘share’
• Accountability
• Link data to classroom practice
• Team build
Morning tea
Some models
• Form groups of about 4 people who represent at least 3 different schools
• Take turns to describe the Numeracy PLT model that operates at your school and
how effective you feel it is in moving students along the continuum
The developmental model
This model seeks to identify the place of every student along a continuous
developmental pathway …..
And then design ‘personalised’ learning to target each student’s needs
A Numeracy PLT model
1. Review the data
Seek evidence (make, say, do, write)
Challenge inference
Is the student where you expected?
What makes you say that?

Assessment for LearningTeacher Observations
A Numeracy PLT model2. Plan the next step Where does the student need to go next? (progress/consolidate?)
3. Identify the strategies and resources needed
How will the student get there?
4. Stipulate the evidence requiredHow will we know when the student is there?
Warning
• A Numeracy PLT is NOT about ‘sharing’ what I did in class today or describing an engaging activity that I came across
• A Numeracy PLT is a collaborative, professional discussion focused on identifying a starting point for student learning and designing effective learning opportunities to move students along the learning continuum
Jack’s work sample
Role play in groups of 5 (15 minutes)
1. Jack’s teacher
2. Team Leader
3. Team member
4. Team member
5. Observer/recorder of questions being asked/challenges posed
For next session
• Please bring samples of some of the planning docs your school has developed as part of your Numeracy Annual Plan
• Please bring an example of the evidence presented by one teacher and the documentation that arose from one Numeracy PLT meeting. Be ready to describe the PLT discussion
