mathematics*Attendance: to reduce persistent absence.

* For each of these targets LAs will be required to provide a breakdown by minority ethnic group. The groups have been revised to include Gypsy/Roma and Travellers of Irish Heritage.

English, mathematics, ICT and science priorities

ICT - priorities

Universal• use of performance data to review and

shape improvement plans with a particular focus on conversion rates from KS3 to KS4 and residual performance

• collaborative improvement activity focused on improved planning and pedagogy

• attendance at spring term SLDM to access SNS support and guidance, be briefed on the renewed ICT Framework , and benefit from local networking of effective approaches

ICT - priorities

TARGETED:• sharply focused, regularly evaluated

consultant support agreements• Training and support for functional

skills pilot centres• Improved schemes of work, teaching,

learning and coursework for new key stage 4 qualifications

Science quiz

• What do these terms mean? • SIIF • STEM • HSW • Triple science • Level 6+ entitlement

• What counts for reporting 2 GCSE sciences?

Science priorities – universal

1. Supporting appropriate wave 1, 2 & 3 intervention through:

• use of data (including using RAISEonline and test analysis ) and AfL strategies to target underperforming groups throughout year 7 – 11;

• use of data to devise curriculum targets which are used in teaching;

• explicit teaching of scientific enquiry/How Science Works to improve progression between KS3 and 4.

2. Attendance at spring term SLDM to access SNS support and guidance, be briefed on the renewed Science Framework, to enable effective dissemination of key messages to science staff.

Science priorities – targeted

Use data analysis and consultancy support to make appropriate targeted intervention in schools to:

• improve teachers’ use of the teaching and learning approaches to address the weakness and misconceptions shown in the 2007 national test and GCSEs;

• strengthen subject leader skills in monitoring and planning for intervention of underperforming groups.

SIIF priorities – targeted

• For pilot LAs to increase level 6+ attainment and GCSE A*-B by trialling and evaluating materials in schools on: • improving teachers’ knowledge and use of

progression strategies through and between KS3 and KS4;

• improving teachers’ knowledge and use of effective interactive teaching including practical work.

• LAs contributing to collection of case studies of effective practice to support progression to post 16 sciences

Supporting Intervention

The Inclusion Development Programme

National Strategies SEN Plan 2007-8

To improve the progress and attainmentof pupils at risk of underperforming.

Common priorities for all cross phase inclusion programmes:

• Mainstreaming

• LA alignment

• Focus on school improvement and capacity building

• Leading practice – leading teachers

• Three waves of intervention

Key Aims of IDP

• Improve outcomes for pupils and narrow gaps

• Promote early recognition and intervention

• Increase the confidence of all practitioners

• Support schools and settings to become more effective at strategic approaches to support and intervention

IDP: areas of focus

• Speech, Language and CommunicationDyslexia

• Autistic Spectrum Disorders (ASD)

• Behavioural, Emotional and Social Difficulties (BESD)

Specific aims of the initial focus of the IDP

• Brief teachers and others in the workforce about early signs of:

DyslexiaOther Specific Learning Difficulties (SpLD)Speech Language and Communication Needs (SLCN)

• Provide information on teaching and learning strategies and approaches known to be effective

The Audience

• Mainstream practitioners in EYFS / schools and settings

• Mainstream primary teachers and TAs

• Mainstream secondary teachers and TAs

• Head Teachers and senior leadership teams

Resources

• Via web and interactive DVD • Resources for Primary and Secondary

are on the same DVD• Resources for ITT in March 2007

Regional support

• Network meetings

• Hub meetings

Standards Fund

• Improving delivery in core subjects• AfL• Targeted schools• Languages• SEAL (joint with primary phase)
