Numeracy+PLT

Each school in our cluster has at least two staff members working in the Numeracy Professional Learning Team. The PLT's activities are being facilitated by Nicky Knight, with two meetings per term.

The Numeracy PLT has an overall goal of raising student achievement in Numeracy and has agreed on the following objectives :


 * To share teaching strategies that support the project focus "the language of thinking and learning"
 * To collect, coordinate and administer valid and reliable student data within the cluster, to inform practice
 * To develop an awareness across the cluster of programmes, resources and assessment
 * To develop coherence and consistency across curriculum areas with reference to Numeracy teaching

With government funding having ended, the Numeracy Professional Learning Team has reduced its meetings to one per term but the focus has remained. With Thinking Skills programmes well underway in each of the cluster schools the Numeracy PLT members are working to ensure thinking skills are explicitly taught within the context of numeracy.
