  3. Implementation • 2009 Semester 2 • Piloting early numeracy intervention program to allow school teams and facilitators time to participate in initial training and trialling of new resources and strategies. TEN facilitators will trial strategies within their own school during Term 3, and within two or three more schools during Term 4. • 2010 Semester 1 • Implementation of TEN.

  4. The Model • Recognises that a small percentage of students are at risk of numeracy failure, despite participation within a quality early numeracy program. • Will be implemented within a normal daily lesson block, • without withdrawal or an • additional specialist teacher.

  5. The Model will provide: • A personalised learning plan • Smaller group size (usually three to four students) • Short, sharp sessions (typically 10 minute blocks) • Strategically targeted activities • High success processes • More explicit and systematic teaching • Five-weekly assessments.

  6. Change Management 1. Identifying schools for participation • Regionsare responsible for identifying schools. In selecting schools, regions will take into account each school’s: • Year 3 NAPLAN numeracy results • Current and emerging commitments that could affect • school capacity to effectively engage in the program • Distance from other possible participating schools.

  7. 2. Strategy • Professional learning workshops and in-school support will be delivered by local TEN Facilitators. • The implementation will focus on: • Professional learning communities • Professional learning in deepening teachers’ understanding of how • students learn number • Professional learning in student management • Familiarisation with intervention program activities and resources.

  8. 2. Strategy • The professional learning component would be a registered course with the NSW Institute of Teachers.

  9. 3. TEN facilitators • Deliver professional learning sessions. • Provide demonstration lessons and in-class support. • Assist teachers with data analysis. • Monitor improved practice and student outcomes.

  10. 3. TEN facilitators • Will be paid at Assistant Principal level. • Can be deployed for a period of six or twelve • months, with the possibility of extension for up • to 24 months with right of return to their school.

  11. 4. Resource allocations One TEN facilitator per region. Western Sydney, South Western Sydney and Hunter/Central Coast will have two facilitators.
