Discussion




Dear Parent/Caregiver,

This is just a kind follow up regarding our Individual Learning Plan (ILP) meeting last week (02/04/16). As
discussed Matthew is finding it difficult to attain and understand year level requirements in a range of curriculum-
based outcomes. To support Matthew achieve these outcomes the Learning Support Team (LST) have developed
an ILP tailored to the specific needs identified after careful observation and thorough assessment of your child
during Term 1, 2016. The ILP is a working document designed by myself and in collaboration with Matthew,
yourself, the school principal and support teacher(s). This document will inform the delivery of educational
activities, particularly within the key learning area of literacy. The ILP will outline the NSW Curriculum learning
areas to be adjusted. The assessment and monitoring of these goals will be measured against the achievement
standards outlined by the Board of Studies Teaching and Educational standards NSW.

Over the next term (2), the LST have developed a series of goals, these goals primarily focus on the areas
identified as development needs for Matthew Curriculum, Receptive and Expressive Language, Fine Motor Skills
and Social Competence. In addition to these the LST have encouraged Matthew to develop a personal learning
goal, this will ensure that goals are realistic and meaningful for Matthew. To further encourage Matthew to
become an active participant of this educational process, goals have been developed with the aim to improve
weaknesses through the incorporation of Matthews strengths Reading & Spelling. In order to develop the
implementation of these goals teaching strategies will involve a range of technologies, step-by-step checklists,
explicit instructions, individual and group work, informal discussions and ongoing encouragement and support
throughout all classroom endeavors.

The ILP and its information will be monitored and followed throughout Mathews time at school. All
information will remain confidential and the learning goals will be evaluated at the end of Term 2, 2016. As a
schooling community we will continue to provide ongoing support and monitor Matthews learning development
over them term. If you have any queries and/or suggestions to assist in the ongoing development and evaluation
of Matthews program please do not hesitate to contact myself. I plan to regularly contact you over the next term
with any updates of Matthews progress throughout the program.

Many regards,

J.Haworth

EAL/D learners are students who identify English as their second or additional language and thus require
further support to develop English language proficiency (Board of Studies New South Wales, 2012; NSW Department
of Education and Training, 2004). Therefore, given Matthews multilingual background the school has implemented
an ILP to assist Matthew learning a new language and develop the knowledge, understanding and skills of the English
syllabus in order to successfully participate in classroom and societal endeavors.

When planning and programing for ILP instruction, the school needs to identify and prioritize the needs of
the EAL/D students to establish the most effective methods and strategies to manage the program within the
available teaching resources (Department of Education and Training, 2004). To distinguish and address Matthews
learning needs and strengths the LST have utilised the ESL scales in conjunction with the NSW English K-10 Syllabus.
The ESL scales provide an explanation of the English language learning development characteristic of EAL learners
during each syllabus stage (Board of Studies New South Wales, 2012). After quality assessment in combination with
analysis of these documents it is clear that Matthew struggles to achieve stage outcomes in handwriting, writing and
speaking and listening tasks, however has developed a sound proficiency in reading and spelling. Research indicates
that learning programs achieve a higher rate of success when a students strengths are utilised to support the
development and achievement of learning goals (Rodrigues & Smith, 2014). Therefore this has been taken into
consideration when planning Matthews ILP and associated goals.

Given this data and Matthews love for reading, initial lessons will stem from this particular content area.
Matthew will be encouraged to independently select a range of informative texts from the school library and online.
These texts will be used in following lessons to improve handwriting and develop Matthews ability to construct a
writing piece. Similarly, spelling lessons will focus on correct letter formations and developing an expanding
knowledge of vocabulary suitable to specific text types, and thus assist Matthew work towards achieving outlined
writing goals in his ILP. Speaking and Listening is a crucial element of the NSW K-10 Syllabus. Through the
development of spoken language children develop the ability to understand and communicate appropriately in both
spoken and written English and thus effectively contribute to informal social interactions as well as more formal and
academic settings (Kayi, 2006; Department of Education and Training, 2004). Thus, students need to be provided the
opportunity to practice using language in a range of contexts (Cox, OBrien, Walsh, & West, 2015). Therefore,
Matthews ILP will also integrate communicative language teaching and collaborative learning into a range of
activities, strategies incorporated include small group work activities, one-on-one teacher-student discussion and
personal storytelling. Given Matthews difficulty participating in social environments he will also be explicitly taught
and modeled various questioning techniques. The classroom and ESL support teacher will also work closely with
Matthew to reinforce clear guidelines and examples of the various language forms acceptable for different
environments. Furthermore, research indicates the importance of the classroom teacher modeling clear and
appropriate use of the English language during all classroom activities, especially for EAL students (Department of
Education and Training, 2004). Therefore, to further assist Matthew all individuals apart of the LST will consciously
work to continually model good language skills. In accordance with the DEC outlines for EAL students (2004),
Matthews program will be delivered through a combination of direct (one-on-one learning with ESL
support/classroom teacher), collaborative (ESL and class teacher delivering lesson together) and resource (integrating
a range of educational materials) teaching modes (Department of Education and Training, 2004).

EAL students language learning will also benefit from high expectations and explicit quality criteria
(Dobinson & Buchori, 2016). Subsequently, given that Matthew is easily distracted and has trouble staying on task
another strategy incorporated will be to provide scaffolded checklists each lesson. This is also in line with the Quality
Teaching Framework (Hinde McLeod & Reynolds, 2007). Furthermore the LST have encouraged Matthew to develop
one personal learning goal, this will ensure that goals are realistic and meaningful for Matthew while also providing
student autonomy and self-regulation (Dobinson & Buchori, 2016; Cox, OBrien, Walsh, & West, 2015; Hinde McLeod
& Reynolds, 2007).
