Completing this professional learning will help you to:

• record observations of students’ literacy and numeracy capabilities identified using the progressions
• plan for explicit teaching to support student development and focus on student need
• analyse and use progression information in PLAN2 to help identify patterns and teaching priorities, evaluate what works best, and strengthen practice in response.
