Overview The renewed Primary Framework builds upon the successes of the National Strategy frameworks for teaching literacy and mathematics, has been developed with the involvement of teachers and practitioners, and is based upon learning and research that has taken place in recent years both in Britain and abroad.

Why renew the Framework? “Excellent teaching gives children the life chances they deserve. Enjoyment is the birthright of every child. The most powerful mix is the one that brings the two together. Children learn better when they are excited and engaged – but what excites and engages them the most is truly excellent teaching.” t teaching. The renewal of the Primary Framework for literacy and mathematics is to support and increase all children’s access to excellent teaching, leading to exciting and successful learning.

Aims Children deserve: To be set appropriate learning challenges; To be taught well and be given the opportunities to learn in different ways that maximise their chances of success; To have adults working with them to tackle the specific barriers to progress they face. The Primary Framework is designed to help practitioners, teachers, schools and settings achieve this ambition.

5 Key Themes - 1 Encourage flexibility in the organisation of the curriculum and the structure of literacy and mathematics lessons Structure teaching and learning over a sequences of lessons as well as within lessons Broaden and strengthen pedagogy to improve the quality of teaching and learning for all children

5 Key Themes - 2 Make more effective use of assessment to inform and direct teaching and learning Raise expectations for all children, especially those at greatest risk of underachievement

The Literacy PDMs Communication, language and literacy Improving writing Enhancing literacy Under- performing groups of children

Phonics for literacy The teaching of early reading should: be a priority for staff development; be set in the context of reading for pleasure and information; be fun, multi-sensory, rich in talk and song; involve systematic, short, daily practice in blending and segmenting; closely monitor progress for quick intervention when needed. Kite marking of phonics

Buckinghamshire School Improvement Service Keys to learning in Literacy and Mathematics DVD An ICT Professional Development Module Order from Prologue:- Tel: DfES PCK-EN

Background and Aims Raised profile of the use of ICT to support learning and teaching within the renewed Frameworks Keys to learning in literacy and maths aims to support teachers in making links between their own and children’s use of ICT to support teaching and learning Designed to be used by leadership teams to support professional development for all staff, focused on areas of literacy and maths commonly identified by schools as priorities

Leading on the use of ICT – Key Questions What is it we want ICT to help our children achieve? How will we plan to get there as a school? What do we need to do first? What support, training and professional development are we going to provide? What impact will we look for in the classroom? How will we identify our progress and future needs? How will we decide we are achieving our intended outcomes?

Choose a strand Early reading Reading on screen Writing Key Stage 1 Writing key Stage 2 Calculation Problem Solving Shape and Space OR Move forward the general use of ICT to support learning in your school

Materials Professional Development Meeting outlines (PDMs) Spreadsheet workbooks on the DVD Interactive teaching Programmes (ITPs) Lesson outlines and teaching sequences Interactive whiteboard files Interactive texts Support materials for reading and writing Video clips

DVD – Adopt, adapt Adapt the materials for use in your school: –Documents such as lesson outlines / teaching sequences are provided as word documents –Video materials to support PDMs are in separate “chapters” –Images and sound files for literacy strands are stand-alone files so they can be used as resources –Spreadsheet workbooks and ITPs come with guidance on how they can be used in other year groups and for other learning outcomes

The Framework - Timescales and support Remember:- The frameworks are NOT statutory – the NC is! Consultants can support schools The strategy envisages at least a 24 months implementation period

What schools need to do short term Review their planning to incorporate the changes in year group content. Decide and deliver the relevant PDMs/Keys to Learning through staff meetings. Consider the course for inexperienced subject leaders. Consider LG or NLC groupings for twilight sessions from consultants. Review the nature of their consultant support [PLP4/LPSA2].

What schools need to do long term Review their planning to incorporate the new approach to teaching units of work of 2 or 3 weeks. Follow up on the delivery of the PDMs/Keys to Learning through staff meetings reviewing progress. Consider the course for inexperienced subject teachers. Consider LG or NLC groupings for twilight sessions from consultants.
