Objective To increase the number of young people in post-primary schools, in particular those entitled to free school meals, achieving a grade C or above in English and Mathematics by the time they leave school OFMDFM Signature Project

Self- evaluation Target setting Pupil tracking How are we doing? How do we know? What do we want to achieve? How are we progressing? 6 Use of Performance Data

Pupil outcomes Prediction Target System-level outcomes, trends and targets Estimation + teacher judgement Challenge 7

GL-Assessment Analysis

Raw Scores – How many questions did the child/group answer correctly? Standard Age Scores or Standardised Score – attainment in relation to national sample, where 100 is the national average Percentile – the percentage of pupils in the national sample who scored at the same level or below that of the pupil’s score Stanine – reduces national attainment to a 1 to 9 scale 9 is highest scoring and 1 is lowest scoring Progress Scores – are only available for pupils who have had their previous test marked What the scores mean

Intervention Think of a skill that you have that was difficult for you to learn. What helped you to overcome this barrier to learning?

Effective interventions ‘personalise learning’ by matching provision to meet children’s individual needs and quicken the pace of leaning for those with literacy difficulties, thus narrowing the attainment gap with their typically developing peers. Identifying and Teaching Children and Young People with Dyslexia and Literacy difficulties. Jim Rose 2009 Effective Interventions

Questions How have students been identified? What assessments have been used? How are parents involved ? Do students know why they have been identified? OFMDFM Signature Project

Monitoring and Evaluation OFMDFM Signature Project School level Action plan aligned with the school’s school development plan Action plan/s completed using NISPLAN website (English, Mathematics, Irish) by 30th October Baseline performance data recorded on school action plan/s (key stage 2 / GCSE) Performance targets set for Monitoring of progress through the NISPLAN website (December, February) Analysis of qualitative and quantitative data Self-Evaluation by participating teachers Evaluation of the project (June)

Monitoring and Evaluation Pupil level Individual pupils identified for support using performance data Baseline information recorded for individual pupils Targets and success criteria set for individual pupils Detail of specific intervention planned Monitoring of individual pupil progress against performance targets (December and February) Pupil questionnaires and attitudinal studies used OFMDFM Signature Project

Monitoring and Evaluation System level Assessment of action plans through the NISPLAN website Monitoring of progress through the NISPLAN website (December, February) Analysis of qualitative and quantitative data Progress measured against PfG targets and Count, Read: Succeed milestones Sharing of effective practice through the NISPLAN website and teacher training sessions Principal information sessions/ meetings CASS officer information sessions and workshops Evaluation of training and support for teachers Progress updates and evaluation reports to the WELB implementation team, ASEO group, SOG, DE, ETI OFMDFM Signature Project

Evaluation Please include comment and statistics on the following, per school: total number of classes supported (breakdown by year group) total number of pupils supported (breakdown by in-class support and withdrawal) nature of support provided to pupils quantitative data on pupil improvement as a result of your support total number of teachers supported nature of support provided to teachers qualitative analysis of support provided by you to each school – how did your involvement with pupils impact on their learning experiences? What worked and why? How do you know? What problems did you encounter and how were they overcome? OFMDFM Signature Project
