Parents consider good literacy and numeracy outcomes a key component of their children’s education and recognize that literacy and numeracy outcomes may be affected by a range of factors.
Key recommendations made by Council include:
- A consistent evidence-based approach across ACT public schools
- Providing multi-tiered support systems so students get the level of supports they need in school
- Consistent assessment tools
- High expectations for all students
- Parent resources that clearly explain the approach to teaching and learning in classrooms, and what parents can do if they have concerns about student progress
- A more a equitable spread of experienced staff across public schools
Council looks forward to further engagement as the recommendations are implemented.
