Possibly one of the most informative PD courses I have been on. A fantastic 2 days spent in Nelson with the Steps Web Developer Ros Lugg. As the course progressed I continuously identified a number of our learners who I can see this programme working extremely well for.
Notes from the 2 days
Implementations since: As a team we have identified 9 learners who we are going to implement the programme for fully (I never knew how until now) These learners will be pre tested, written samples, word samples taken, Peters Spelling and steps assessment done. The idea is to have as much pre data as possible to show if the programme has worked for these students. Students will be reassessed at the end of the year using the same testing.
On 25th July I also ran a staff meeting introducing them to the course and what I had learnt. We have been issued 15 new licenses which a number of staff have expressed interest in trialing with their students so I will activate these to trial for them.
