(1) (a) - (c) Principals participating in the Aboriginal Literacy Strategy are responsible for ensuring that "program consistency" is maintained by: · Ensuring each of the sequential components of the prescribed Literacy Session are being implemented as required, and that the minimum daily time allocation for, and components of, the Literacy Session are adhered to for all students. In addition, teaching plans and practices are required to be reflective of those endorsed in professional learning workshops. · Purchasing exemplary teacher reference materials and student texts and resources as recommended by the Department. · Regular collection and analysis of formative assessment data to gauge student progress and areas of ongoing need for future planning. (2) Each staff member has been provided with an overview of the Literacy Session and a planning proforma which details features and intentions of each component of the Literacy Session, plus referencing to additional support material including First Steps, Deadly Ways and ESL sources. Staff will be further supported through ongoing workshops and access to additional specialist English language and literacy support personnel.
