ALL Impact Day

National ALL Leader Chris Henderson
This year I had my first experience of ALL, Accelerated Learning in Literacy. The road here has been bumpy as 2021 proved itself to throw up some challenges in a few different areas of life.
Implementing ALL was slow to start and throughout the year I questioned my ability to do this justice.

How do you define acceleration? Going faster than the rate of previous learning. Add did they meet curriculum expectations?
Share slide with Adie.
What works for whom, and why? Look at the context in which we are sitting. How do we know the things that worked, why and what didn't work and why?
COVID Vs Kids
The most at risk kids during lockdown are those that have fallen in their learning. Sometomes when dealing with everybody, it comes at the risk of our smaller groups. ALL is about the child being at the centre.
Reminder that ALL is for Tier 2 learners. Acceleration is teaching the child at the level they are at whether age or year level.

Dennis Shirley and Andy Hargreaves - Five Paths of Student Engagement
Looks at increasing student engagement.
Literacy is currently in a crowded place and we have not yet been able to put all of the pieces of the puzzle together. If what we are doing in classrooms at Tier 1 is effective, Tier 2 would be easier.
How do all of the things we know about literacy co-exist so we can out all of these together.
Key Competencies - How do we develop key competencies alongside Literacy learning. To do...gather student voice about key competencies.
Activity:
What are the competencies we set out to improve?
What were the positive outcomes of this focus?
To Do: Check out what other teachers say about ALL students in class.
Strategies and Learning Conditions - Internal and external.
