7. Closing the gap – what’s your story?
intent
implementation
impact

8. Examples of what is working in Literacy…
Child and parent trios in Brediland Primary School, Renfrewshire
Addressing expressive vocabulary gap of targeted P1/2 children in a rural/island area
Developing a literacy partnership with parents of vulnerable children West Dunbartonshire
Closing the vocabulary gap in early years – engaging and involving parents and early years practitioners.
Northern Alliance – taking a developmental approach to literacy

9. Examples of what is working in Numeracy…
Impact of Precision Teaching Methodology on Numeracy Development (Angus)
Enhancing teacher knowledge in arithmetical development, numeracy pedagogy and quality interactions: A coaching and mentoring approach (North Lanarkshire)
Making learning conversations count: Using video reflection to enhance Teaching Assistants’ impact on attainment in numeracy. (Dundee)
Evidencing the impact of growth mindset teaching and learning approaches on children’s engagement, enjoyment and attitude towards mathematics (Aberdeenshire)

10. Schools making the best progress are:
clearly define what the poverty-related attainment gap looks like
use SIMD and tracking data to identify and review the progress of children living in poverty
plan additional activities, interventions and resources to raise attainment in literacy and numeracy to ensure all children achieve in line with national expectations
continually evaluate the impact on children’s progress and attainment and take further action where needed.

14. What might a ‘dashboard’ look like?

15. Potential Ideas Leuven Scale of Engagement Leuven Scale of Wellbeing
RAG (Red, Amber, Green) Indicators for Learning Objectives
Attendance
Pupil Confidence
Make reference to Clackmannanshire. What is the direct impact of intervention work having on Literacy and Numeracy.
Research Centre for Experiential Education at Leuven University (Belgium), under the supervision of Professor Ferre Laevers – an educationalist in the Experiential Education field.
We want learners to feel included, engaged and involved.
Scales could be modified for learner friendly language. Could support teacher professional judgements or learners themselves could track.
Engagement – 1 to 5 scoring – definitions available on table
Wellbeing – 1 to 5 scoring – definitions available on table
RAG – Red (50% or less of weekly learning objectives achieved) Amber (50% - 75% of weekly learning objectives achieved) and Green (Above 75% of weekly learning objectives achieved)
Attendance – Register or SEEMIS system

16. How this might look in practice

17. RAG Indicators for Learning Objectives
Visual Timetable trialled
